From its very inception, Schiff Hardin's focus has been on counseling and growing with business and corporate clients. We began counseling many of our current banking and industrial clients in the 1870s and 1880s. It is this dedication to our clients coupled with our understanding of the law that allows us to build the lasting client relationships that we are known for.
Throughout the last half-century, Schiff Hardin has helped shape the basic rules of law in a number of United States Supreme Court and Circuit Courts of Appeals cases, including landmark decisions in the fields of utility rate jurisdiction, antitrust, state taxation, finance, and the obligations of former employees to their former employers. Today, litigation - including a particular emphasis on complex, toxic tort, insurance class actions, and reinsurance disputes - is our largest practice group.
Our law firm has changed and grown a lot in the past 144 years. We now have attorneys in offices located in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Lake Forest, New York, San Francisco, and Washington. One thing remains unchanged - our commitment to our clients
