Firm Overview:

With five locations across Wisconsin and in Washington D.C., Godfrey & Kahn provides high-level service and creative legal solutions to its clients. For more than 65 years, attorneys and professional staff have been guided by five core values originally set forth by Godfrey & Kahn's founders: A focus on clients' success, trust in one another and the clients, a culture of teamwork that helps achieve more together, a work ethic to achieve whatever is possible, and an integrity that keeps the firm focused on the right thing to do.

Trusted Counsel

Godfrey & Kahn has a diverse and deep client base, ranging from multinational publicly traded and privately held companies to middle market and family-owned businesses. With more than 180 attorneys and an equal number of supporting professionals, the firm serves clients by first understanding their business and their needs, and then by offering strategic legal advice and smart, practical solutions. The attorneys are quick to collaborate in the interest of client success and service their needs with efficiency and responsiveness. The firm's clients rely on their attorneys to serve as outside general counsel or local counsel to provide an array of business, financial and legal advice to help them manage and grow their operations and to identify, manage and reduce risk. Whether advising in-house counsel or acting as a client’s outside general counsel, the firm's goal remains the same—understand the clients’ businesses and strategic objectives, and work with them to find and implement solutions that will help them be successful and reduce risk.
