About Sorling Northrup Attorneys

Sorling Northrup Attorneys trace a distinguished legacy to 1925, when founder Carl A. Sorling established a respected Springfield practice grounded in service, integrity, and business acumen. Early representation of financial institutions and private clients laid a durable foundation for professional excellence, civic involvement, and disciplined legal advocacy across central Illinois.

Sorling Northrup Attorneys expanded steadily following World War II, welcoming accomplished lawyers whose focused practices elevated service quality. Concentrations in tax, estates, real estate, zoning, litigation, and corporate matters reflected a national shift toward specialization, allowing sophisticated problem solving. This approach earned recognition as a firm synonymous with reliability, preparation, and high-caliber legal counsel.

Sorling Northrup Attorneys continued growth through the latter twentieth century, evolving in size, scope, and geographic reach. Today, more than forty attorneys and professionals operate from offices in Springfield and Chicago, including a prominent location near Illinois’ State Capitol, positioning the firm to address complex regional, statewide, and national legal matters.

Sorling Northrup Attorneys provide comprehensive representation across an extensive range of practice areas, including business advising, litigation, banking, real estate, tax, estate planning, family law, personal injury, labor and employment, health law, government affairs, and regulatory representation. This breadth supports coordinated strategies for individuals, businesses, and public entities.

Sorling Northrup Attorneys emphasize thoughtful preparation, ethical advocacy, and tailored legal solutions aligned with client priorities. Matters receive careful analysis, strategic planning, and disciplined execution, supported by confidentiality and professionalism. Longstanding experience before courts, agencies, and negotiating tables enables consistent pursuit of favorable, efficient, and sustainable outcomes.

Sorling Northrup Attorneys serve thousands of clients throughout Illinois, from Cairo to Chicago, across diverse industries and personal legal needs. While the firm has evolved since its early years, core commitments remain unchanged: prompt service, exceptional quality, and steadfast attention to the legal interests of individuals, businesses, and institutions.
