Godfrey & Kahn provides high-level service and creative legal solutions to its clients. For nearly 55 years, our attorneys and staff have been guided by five core values originally set forth by our founders: A focus on our clients' success, trust in one another and our clients, a culture of teamwork that helps us achieve more together, a work ethic to achieve whatever is possible, and an integrity that keeps us focused on the right thing to do for our employees, our clients and our communities. We serve clients by first understanding their business and their needs, and then by offering strategic legal advice and smart, practical solutions to real world problems. Our attorneys are quick to collaborate in the interest of client success and service their needs with efficiency and responsiveness. With six locations across Wisconsin and in Washington D.C., our attorneys have made it a point to become an integral part of the communities they serve. Whether we are taking on pro bono cases, supporting environmental causes, or offering university scholarships to promising students, we're proud to be strengthening bonds with our neighbors, within our firm and in our global business community.

We assist our clients in recognizing their protectable rights and in formulating strategies to obtain, protect and commercialize their intellectual property, and we are able to rapidly coordinate the legal and technical resources and expertise within our firm to assemble an experienced litigation team to enforce and defend our clients' rights.
