Carpenter Lipps & Leland LLP.

Carpenter Lipps & Leland LLP was founded in 1994 by the three senior litigation partners from the Columbus office of Jones Day. From its earliest days, to its current composition of approximately 40 lawyers in three cities (Columbus, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.), the Firm has consistently maintained a first-tier reputation as a litigation boutique representing Fortune 500 clients in high-stakes, complex commercial litigation across the United States. Carpenter Lipps & Leland's clients range from preeminent national and local businesses to individuals, and the Firm's client list continues to expand because of its focus on litigation and its singular commitment to client service.

The Firm's litigation practice extends to all levels of the federal and state court systems, as well as regulatory practice before state agencies. The Firm's docket typically includes cases pending in 30-35 different states, as well as throughout the state of Ohio.

In addition, and as a natural extension of its primary offices' location in the state capital of Ohio, the public policy and government regulation group has become an important component of the Firm's advocacy practice. The Firm is called upon to represent clients in the myriad ways their interests are affected by governmental issues, particularly in the areas of utilities, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, banking and financial, education, and insurance.
