Legal and Strategic Thinking

Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB) employs the leading legal and strategic-thinking minds in the industry. We recruit candidates with the ability, character, judgment, personality, energy and commitment to develop into wise counselors, effective advocates and valued colleagues. While legal and strategic-thinking is critical, our attorneys, paraprofessionals and research analysts also are deeply passionate about achieving the best results for our clients and sustaining a diverse environment where everyone experiences fulfillment and enjoyment through meaningful personal contributions. We thrive on the complex cutting-edge issues that make the practice of law challenging, rewarding and fun.

Due in part to our legal and strategic-thinking attorneys, SHB has established itself as a premier defense firm in the most challenging legal arenas. After early successes in tobacco litigation led to a cutting-edge pharmaceutical and medical device practice, we expanded our legal and strategic thinking to include assisting regional, national and international companies in multiple industries. Our range of capabilities includes covering class actions and complex litigation; arbitration and dispute resolution; electronic discovery and document management; and corporate transactions. In honor of this commitment to legal and strategic-thinking, our firm continues to invoke the core values of our founders while looking ahead to the next generation of SHB attorneys.

Being legal and strategic-thinking problem solvers, we win tough cases for our clients. Our goal is always to get our clients back to their business as soon as possible. We do so by providing sophisticated and cost-effective services that meet a full range of legal needs.

Our legal and strategic-thinking mentality extends past the courtroom. We publish a weekly newsletter that analyzes industry trends and reports on relevant legislative and regulatory developments, key judicial decisions and the latest scientific literature for our employees. We stay on top of the latest legal trends so you don’t have to. To learn more about SHB, contact us today.
