Understand. Innovate. Solve. 

These three values have inspired our work for clients since our founding in 1895. Likewise, they have helped fuel our growth from a local firm to one serving clients on a regional, national and international scale.

Our law firm of approximately 150 attorneys in St. Louis, Chicago and Southern Illinois focuses on comprehensively addressing the legal needs of business organizations, whether private or public, in all sizes and industries. Our attorneys bring practice skills and experience to support business operations across the full range of legal needs. To read about our experience, please visit our Practices and Industries pages.

To protect and affirm our clients’ legal rights, we provide business litigation services, ranging from general commercial litigation to complex tort, product liability and medical malpractice defense.

Just as our clients focus on building the best team, we also concentrate on recruiting and retaining lawyers with the broad base of legal and other professional skills required to meet our clients’ business objectives. We work as partners in spirit with our clients, and measure our success by the degree to which we surpass client satisfaction.

In every endeavor, we are known for our ability to understand, innovate and solve in ways that earn long-term relationships and new opportunities. We welcome the invitation to explore how we may help you.
