Understand. Innovate. Solve. These three values have inspired our work for clients since our founding in 1895. Likewise, they have helped fuel our growth from a local firm to one serving clients on a regional, national and international scale.
Our law firm of approximately 150 attorneys in St. Louis, Chicago and Belleville, IL focuses on comprehensively addressing the legal needs of business organizations, whether private or public, in all sizes and industries. Our attorneys bring practice skills and experience to support business operations across the full range of legal needs.
We partner with closely held businesses and private clients to grow and to strengthen finances, families and futures. As a full-service law firm based in the Midwest, we are equipped to handle the full range of legal needs for family offices, businesses and multi-generational families. We are client-centered and approach our role with empathy and compassion for each unique situation, with the capability to navigate sophisticated matters with a sensible and flexible approach.
Here are just a few of the characteristics we believe differentiate Greensfelder as a legal services provider:
- We can handle messy situations and keep advancing the deal, project or dispute.
- We are client-centered and won't overlawyer -- we care about your bottom line and have empathy and compassion for your unique situation.
- We are flexible and create bespoke solutions to meet clients where they are, rather than taking a plug-and-play approach.
- We have fluency in what matters to multi-generational families.
- Private clients and family offices are a strategic practice for us.
- We take the time to educate and inform clients, from ground zero to very experienced, providing legal counsel without shaming.
