Philadelphia.

American law was written in this city. The firm practices it accordingly.

The City
The Constitution was signed
a short walk from the office.

Philadelphia treats the law as an inheritance, not an industry. The Constitution was debated and signed here, the Supreme Court of the United States sat here throughout the 1790s, and the city’s bench and bar have been holding lawyers to that standard ever since.

It is also where the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit sits — the court that reviews every federal judgment in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and the Virgin Islands. The firm’s Third Circuit practice is anchored where the court itself resides, alongside a Pennsylvania state practice that runs from Center City to the counties.

The office stands at 1515 Market Street, one block west of City Hall, twelve floors up, facing the tower where Philadelphia has kept its courts and its clocks for more than a century.
