CHICAGO, September 21, 2021 – Levenfeld Pearlstein, LLC (LP) is pleased to announce that partners Jeffery Hoffenberg, David Solomon, and Lauren Wolven have been appointed to our Executive Committee.

“At LP, we pride ourselves on our commitment to developing and promoting the next generation of leaders,” said Robert A.
