About Manish C.
Manish C. Bhatia trained in the Midwest. He earned a B.A. in political science from DePaul University in 1997 and went on to earn a J.D. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 2004, where he also completed a tax certificate. Those academic credentials shaped the early contours of his legal career.
After law school, Bhatia entered private practice and spent time as an associate in two Chicago-area firms. In 2008 he worked at Denkewalter & Angelo, LLP. The following year he joined Strauss & Malk, LLP as an associate. In 2010 he shifted to solo practice and opened his own firm, operating under the name Manish C. Bhatia, Lawyer at Law.
His professional path is steady and straightforward. Those years in firm settings exposed him to the routines of client representation, and his decision to move into a sole proprietorship suggested a desire for direct client engagement. He has practiced in Illinois throughout his career and maintains offices in the Chicago area and in Schaumburg. Colleagues and clients have encountered him in both suburban and city settings.
Bhatia’s legal training includes formal coursework in tax law, and that background shows up in the kinds of matters he handles. He brings tax-oriented training to questions that touch on business affairs and personal tax concerns. He has managed files as a solo practitioner and in firm environments, handling negotiations, document preparation, and counsel on transactional issues. He represents individuals and business clients before state and local authorities and in private disputes, relying on practical problem-solving rather than courtroom spectacle.
Outside the office, Bhatia’s resume reflects steady professional development rather than public-facing roles or high-profile litigation. He has built a practice that emphasizes accessibility and regular contact with clients. He continues to work in Illinois on matters that draw on his law school training and subsequent experience. His current practice concentrates on serving individuals and businesses in the Chicago area, applying his tax training to business and personal tax-related matters.
