Practice/Industry Group Overview

Schiff Hardin represents the entire range of business organizations and individuals engaged in national and international, regional and local business - from Fortune 500 corporations to mid-sized and smaller companies.

Many of our clients - some of which have no in-house counsel - use our services for advice with respect to the full range of issues that face a business. This service capability benefits clients of all sizes, particularly when their in-house staffs or local counsel are stretched thin or they encounter unusual questions.
