On August 7, 2025, the respected Illinois law firm, Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C., proudly announced the promotion of attorney Eirene N. Salvi to the role of partner. This elevation not only marks a significant milestone in her career but also underscores her commitment and achievements within the legal field.

Having joined the firm in 2016, Eirene has consistently demonstrated exceptional legal acumen and an unwavering dedication to her clients. Throughout her tenure at Salvi, she has successfully recovered over $550 million in compensation for her clients, a remarkable feat that highlights her skill and determination in personal injury and medical malpractice law.

One of the most notable achievements in her career thus far was her first trial victory with the firm, where she secured a staggering $11.25 million jury verdict for the family of a mother tragically killed in a car accident. In 2017, she played a crucial role in a trial team that claimed a groundbreaking $148 million jury verdict, which became the highest compensatory award ever granted to an individual plaintiff in Illinois. This case involved a dancer who suffered paralysis due to a collapsed pedestrian shelter at O'Hare International Airport.

Fast forward to 2024, and Eirene was once again part of a distinguished trial team that achieved a record-breaking jury verdict of $79.85 million for the family of a young girl who lost her life due to a police pursuit initiated by the Chicago Police Department. According to the Jury Verdict Reporter, this verdict represents the highest reported compensation awarded in Illinois for a police pursuit crash, cementing Eirene's reputation as a formidable advocate in the courtroom.

Beyond her courtroom victories, Eirene N. Salvi is deeply engaged in the legal community, reflecting her passion for both education and ethical practices. She currently serves as the President of the Board of Directors for Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth for 2024-2025. This organization strives to utilize the resources of the legal community to provide one-on-one mentoring and tutoring programs designed for underprivileged youths.

Moreover, in 2025, Eirene was selected to contribute to the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Task Force for the Illinois Judicial Conference. This task force is critical in assisting Illinois courts to adapt to the continuously evolving legal landscape. Additionally, her role on the Illinois Supreme Court’s Judicial Selection Committee includes evaluating candidates' qualifications for appointments within Cook County.

Eirene has garnered respect and recognition for her efforts, including being named to the National Association of Women Lawyers' 2024 “Rising List” and Law Bulletin Media's 2023 “Top Women Lawyers” list for the Chicago Metro Area. Furthermore, in 2023, she received the “Rising Star Award” from the Asian American Bar Association of Greater Chicago, acknowledging her contributions and achievements in the legal arena. Notably, she was twice honored with the “Trial Lawyer Excellence Award” from The Jury Verdict Reporter and Law Bulletin Media, in both 2018 and 2022.

Patrick A. Salvi, Managing Equity Partner at Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard, expressed immense pride in Eirene’s accomplishments, stating, "Eirene has proven herself to be one of the most hardworking and reliable attorneys not only at our firm, but in the city of Chicago.
