About Us

At Jenner & Block, we shape what’s next through experience, vision, and judgment. In the most sensitive and consequential matters our clients face, we are known for finding a clear path forward. We are the litigators behind some of the most significant victories from the trial level to the US Supreme Court; the dealmakers behind landmark corporate transactions transforming industries and markets; the investigators and compliance monitors restoring public confidence following high-profile legal, economic, and reputational threats; and the advocates advancing clients’ interests and shaping policy. We stand out through bold action, intent, and impact.

Fearless advocates, trusted advisors, strategic partners

Whether an opportunity or challenge, we fearlessly advocate for our clients in the matters shaping their business. We combine diverse and extensive experience with original, creative thinking to help our clients stay ahead of an ever-changing landscape. Our commitment is to work as partners to define what comes next for you and your business, and to get there together.

A proud tradition of shaping law, business, and policy

Founded in 1914, Jenner & Block is now an internationally recognized powerhouse with more than 500 lawyers across the United States and United Kingdom. Throughout our history, we have shaped the direction of law, business, and policy—from Witherspoon to Watergate, Lehman to Lawrence, Guantanamo to GM’s IPO. And we continue to shape today’s greatest legal battles – from DACA to Dobbs, energy transitions to voting rights, data security to national security.

Our people are the heart of Jenner & Block

Our foundation is one of shared values: a commitment to integrity and professionalism, an eye towards a brighter future, and a tireless pursuit of justice. We have built a supportive and inclusive culture, where front-runners in our field–lawyers and professional staff, alike–can think and act with bold determination. Whether it is as champions for civil rights and social justice, or through our deep commitment to inclusion, pro bono, and civic engagement, or though the impact work we do for our clients every day, we embrace our role in shaping a brighter future for our people, our clients, and our communities.

Pro Bono

Jenner & Block sets the standard in pro bono. We were early champions for sometimes-controversial issues like prisoners' rights, criminal defense, and LGBTQ equality, and we continue forging the path, year after year, to help marginalized communities. Investing our time and talent to help others is a defining characteristic of the firm—a true calling.
