• About Us:

  It starts with relationships. Schiff Hardin believes that understanding our clients' needs and goals is our most important job. We listen. We strive to become trusted advisers and strong advocates for our clients.

  Our attorneys have achieved substantial recognition by their peers and clients alike. Chambers USA has ranked 20 of our attorneys and 14 of our practice areas in their prestigious list, and we have 141 attorneys with peer review ratings from Martindale-Hubbell.

  Then, there is our depth of experience. As a general practice law firm, Schiff Hardin has strong capabilities in most legal disciplines and a total dedication to client service. We have helped shape the law in a number of cases in the U.S. Supreme Court, Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal, and state appellate courts, including landmark decisions in the fields of utility rate jurisdiction, intellectual property, product liability, animal law, class actions, and many other areas.

  We solve tough legal questions and find innovative solutions to difficult legal problems across the country and around the world. With offices in seven cities, and attorneys admitted to more than 100 jurisdictions – including 26 states, 72 U.S. courts, and six different countries – Schiff Hardin has the broad reach to meet the needs of domestic and international clients. We augment this reach with our membership in two referral networks of independent, separate law firms located around the country (http://www.uslfg.com/) and around the world (http://www.terralex.org/).

  Throughout our long history we have devoted ourselves to the clients we serve. That is why so many have remained our clients for so long.
