125 Years Young

125 Years Young

This year, we’re celebrating our 125th birthday—as in lighting candles, inflating balloons, wearing tiny paper hats, eating way, way too much cake, and embracing the curiosity, creativity, adaptability, and gratitude that have allowed us to endure and meet our clients’ needs, no matter the decade.

125 Years Curious

We reject the idea that we know everything (which is hard, because we’re attorneys), understanding that the best counsel starts with curiosity—questioning, listening, learning, and building solutions based on your insights, rather than our assumptions. Staying curious has allowed us to turn “what if …” into “here’s how …” for 125 years and counting.

Innovative

When your clients are full of energy and new ideas, you have to be at your most innovative to support their ever-changing needs. Fueled by their bold vision and ambition, we’ve had the privilege of playing a part in some of the most groundbreaking developments of the past century and a quarter.

Dynamic

If there’s one thing that we’ve learned during our 125 years, it’s that you don’t grow and prosper by standing still. The legal landscape evolves, industries transform, and challenges shift—but we thrive by embracing change, anticipating what’s next, and adapting with purpose. Dynamic isn’t just how we work—it’s who we are.

Greatful

For 125 years, gratitude has been a cornerstone of our culture. We never could have come this far without the clients who entrust us with their success, the colleagues who make us what we are, and the communities we call home. If you’re reading this, we probably owe you our thanks. Trust that we know it takes a village, and we’re so grateful you’re a part of ours.
