About Blank Rome LLP

Blank Rome LLP has built a distinguished reputation for legal excellence, integrity, and innovation since its founding in 1946. What began as a small partnership in Philadelphia has grown into an Am Law 100 firm with more than 750 attorneys in 16 offices across the United States and abroad. Guided by an unwavering commitment to quality advocacy and ethical representation, the firm continues to provide world-class counsel in a constantly evolving legal landscape.

Blank Rome LLP provides comprehensive legal services across corporate law, litigation, real estate, finance, environmental regulation, intellectual property, and white-collar defense. The firm represents clients across diverse industries, including energy, healthcare, technology, financial services, transportation, and maritime commerce. Every engagement reflects a balance of strategic foresight, meticulous preparation, and an understanding of both business realities and legal nuance.

Blank Rome LLP was founded on principles of inclusion and equal opportunity. Created by lawyers who were denied access to established firms due to their religion, it stands as a testament to diversity, belonging, and fairness in the legal profession. This commitment remains central to its culture, empowering attorneys from all backgrounds to collaborate, innovate, and deliver exceptional representation that reflects a broad spectrum of perspectives.

Blank Rome LLP also leads through service. The firm’s dedication to pro bono work and community engagement is nationally recognized, with more than 33,000 hours of pro bono service provided in 2024 alone. Through initiatives like BR Impact, the firm advances sustainability, well-being, and social responsibility while maintaining a deep commitment to supporting communities and individuals in need.

Blank Rome LLP continues to define modern excellence in the practice of law—transforming complexity into clarity through strategic advocacy, ethical leadership, and enduring dedication to client success.
