Philadelphia

For 135 years, Morgan Lewis has been the law firm Philadelphia businesses turn to as they navigate the world’s rapidly changing economy. Founded in Philadelphia when Francis Draper Lewis “moved [his] table into [Charles Eldridge] Morgan’s office” at 623 Walnut Street, today the firm is home to more than 1,400 attorneys in 22 offices around the world.

Our attorneys’ willingness to go the extra mile for our clients is reflected in longstanding relationships—some of which date back to the turn of the century. From energy and banking to transportation and life sciences, the industries upon which the Delaware Valley’s economy thrive count on Morgan Lewis.

There are more than 300 attorneys in the Philadelphia office who represent clients in cutting-edge matters throughout the region, the country, and the world. They are key players in many of the firm’s interdisciplinary efforts—including Emerging Growth Companies, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Media, Private Investment Funds, Retail, Securities, and Technology—and practice in the following areas:

The Philadelphia office is where the firm’s commitment to client service began—a commitment that still thrives and grows to meet clients’ changing needs. For example, the Philadelphia office is the base for our national eData team, which provides clients with industry-leading services in prelitigation risk management, discovery consulting, and document review.

Morgan Lewis also prides itself in a commitment to community—one reflected in its pro bono, civic, and philanthropic affairs throughout the city. Among the Philadelphia office’s longstanding clients are many of the region's major civic, cultural, and nonprofit organizations, such as the Philadelphia Art Museum, the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Support Center for Child Advocates.

In short—our firm’s tradition of service does not end at the courtroom or boardroom door. We are in this together. Your team and ours.
