Our Broad Experience

Schiff Hardin enjoys a national reputation in the area of corporate and securities law, particularly with respect to mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures. In addition, we have one of the largest intellectual property practices among general practice law firms in the United States. This practice includes intellectual property litigation and licensing. Schiff Hardin's construction law practice is nationally recognized and includes attorneys with architectural and engineering credentials. Our firm has substantial depth in virtually all areas of general business litigation, representing clients in state and federal courts nationwide and before arbitration panels and government agencies.

Extensive Government and Business Contacts

Schiff Hardin lawyers have regular contact with federal and state governmental departments and regulatory agencies, as well as leading international investment banking firms, stock exchanges, professional and industrial organizations, and major corporations. For example, prior to joining the firm, several of our attorneys held senior positions at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We provide strong contacts, extensive knowledge and experience in a number of industries and businesses — such as the aluminum, computer and pharmaceutical industries and banking and finance.
