Roetzel's entrepreneurial philosophy encourages our attorneys to think like our clients — with business minds, ready to embrace new challenges and implement innovative approaches.

As Roetzel has evolved, we have remained committed to cultivating deep relationships within our communities, the legal profession, and the industries we serve. When our first office was opened in Akron, Ohio, nearly 150 years ago, our founders couldn’t have imagined that what they started would result in a law firm of regional and national prestige. Roetzel is one of the 300 largest law firms in the United States, as determined by The National Law Journal, and has been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America®, Super Lawyers, and Chambers USA. These acknowledgments would not have been possible if it weren’t for the positive feedback gained from our satisfied clients and peers. With a focus on client service, a deep understanding of who we are as a firm, and an ongoing commitment to our communities, Roetzel attorneys strive to remain our clients’ strongest advocates.
