About Paul
Paul Connery entered law after completing undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2010 and earning a J.D. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 2013. He completed his formal legal education during a period of steady change in Illinois courts. Those years shaped the practical side of his legal training and his approach to everyday practice.
His career has been based in Illinois. He is an associate at Levin & Perconti, where he joined the firm after finishing law school. At the firm he has worked on matters that require attention to procedural detail and client communication. Colleagues describe him as methodical and precise in managing case files and deadlines. He has taken responsibility for drafting pleadings, conducting legal research, and preparing discovery, all under the supervision of more senior attorneys.
Connery holds membership in Life Span, an association he joined in 2018 and with which he remains active. That involvement reflects an interest in professional networks outside the office. He has used those connections to stay current on developments affecting trial preparation and client outreach. He also participates in firm meetings and mentoring sessions aimed at junior attorneys.
His education and early years in practice have left him attentive to court rules and local procedure. He understands how docket schedules and discovery timelines affect the trajectory of a case. He is comfortable in research-driven roles and in tasks that require careful drafting. He is also experienced in preparing documents that must withstand procedural scrutiny in state courts.
Outside of firm responsibilities, Connery has focused on building a steady practice profile rather than pursuing headlines. He has not sought public office or a high-profile litigation calendar. Instead he has concentrated on the day-to-day work that keeps cases moving: meeting with clients, coordinating with experts, and preparing materials for hearings and depositions.
In his current role at Levin & Perconti, Connery practices law in Illinois and manages matters that arise in state court. He remains based in the firm’s office and continues to handle client matters, discovery, and courtroom preparation as part of the firm’s team-based practice.
