Indianapolis
Overview
Office Leader
As Indiana's capital and largest city, Indianapolis is the heart of the state's business activity and economy. Faegre Drinker has been advising Indiana businesses for over 160 years. Our roots date back to the 1860’s and our prominent founders — Thomas Hendricks, Indiana Governor and U.S. Vice President; Oscar Hord, Indiana Attorney General; and Conrad Baker, Civil War General and Indiana Governor — who created the pre-eminent law firm in Indianapolis. Over the last century and a half, the firm has grown alongside the Central Indiana community, from Hendricks & Hord in 1863 to Baker & Daniels in the mid-20th century, and then continuing to grow to become Faegre Drinker today.
While our name has changed over the years, our commitment to excellence and our role as a trusted, reliable legal resource for businesses in the central Indiana community and beyond remains unchanged. Faegre Drinker’s attorneys and consulting professionals provide market-leading business solutions to Indiana clients across the full range of litigation, transactional and regulatory services including corporate, M&A, securities and tax, construction and real estate, intellectual property, labor and employment, and business litigation, with a product liability team that protects leading manufacturers in Indiana, across the United States and around the world.
