About the Firm

Saul Ewing is a full-service, nationwide law firm with over 400 attorneys and roots in the Mid-Atlantic, with additional offices across the U.S., including in Boston, Chicago, Florida, Minneapolis, and most recently, southern California. The firm’s practices include litigation, corporate, bankruptcy and restructuring, real estate, higher education, insurance, energy and public utilities, environmental, labor and employment, and public finance.

Lifetime Clients

In 1921, Philadelphia attorneys formed the law firm of Saul Ewing Remick & Saul, carrying on the practice of their former partner John G. Johnson—who argued more than 180 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court over his lifetime. Arnstein & Lehr formed in 1893. In 2017, Saul Ewing merged with Arnstein & Lehr, LLP, which extended the firm’s geographic reach into the Midwest by way of Illinois. The firm has had numerous illustrious clients across its history, including The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and Sears Roebuck & Co.—both still clients of the firm. The firm continues to implement a growth strategy across the U.S., including a combination with California-based firm Freeman Freeman & Smiley in August 2023.

No Stranger to the Spotlight

Saul Ewing’s attorneys regularly handle multi-million and multi-billion dollar transactional and litigation matters for clients in industries like pharmaceutical and healthcare; food, beverage, and agribusiness; cannabis; real estate; higher education; retail; insurance; and technology. The firm played a role in the $8 billion merger of Exelon and Constellation Energy in 2013. Saul Ewing’s Higher Education attorneys have represented local universities, including serving as lead patent counsel for the University of Pennsylvania to create the Penn Center for Advanced Cellular Therapeutics and assisting Drexel University on its $3.5 billion “Schuylkill Yards” development. The Sports, Media & Entertainment practice represents top-tier sports clients, including the former owners of the Minnesota Timberwolves in their 2021 sale of the team for $1.5 billion. The firm’s Cannabis practice, launched in 2017, represented Ascend Wellness Holdings with its $125 million IPO in 2021. The firm prides itself on a “diversity of thought, focus on innovation, cross-serving practices, and culture of coaching” that benefits both clients and the firm’s attorneys.

Focus on DEI

Saul Ewing has received numerous recognitions for its efforts toward diversity, equity, and inclusion. In 2011 it was awarded Gold Standard Certification by the Women in Law Empowerment Forum. Equality Illinois gave the firm top marks in 2015 for LGBT diversity and inclusive practices. Saul Ewing received a perfect score on Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index starting in 2017, and that same year, was a founding law firm in the Pittsburgh Legal Diversity & Inclusion Coalition. The firm received Mansfield Certification for the first time in 2019, and in 2020 joined the Law Firm Anti-Racism Alliance. In 2023, the firm was recognized by the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity as a top performer.
