Katten’s founding attorneys sought to create an entrepreneurial law firm, providing not just excellent legal services but also a deep understanding of business and industry paired with superb client service.

Our business has evolved but our vision remains the same.

Today, Katten is the full-service, business-oriented law firm its founders envisioned, with more than 600 attorneys providing sophisticated, high-value legal services across the United States and abroad.

Our nationally recognized practices include private equity, health care, mergers & acquisitions, litigation, environmental and workplace safety, real estate, financial services, commercial finance, insolvency and restructuring, intellectual property, structured finance and securitization, transactional tax planning, and trusts and estates. Our attorneys serve as valued partners to public and private companies, including a third of the Fortune 100, as well as government and nonprofit organizations and individuals. We provide full-service legal advice from locations across the United States and in London and Shanghai.

We forge partnerships with our clients based on our uniquely flexible and entrepreneurial culture. Knowing the law is not enough. We understand our clients’ business objectives and address their legal needs in a manner consistent with the “big picture.” Our clients see us as trusted advisors and we demonstrate our value every day in the successful results we earn.
