There are eight law firms in Milwaukee, employing hundreds of lawyers, that can trace their origins back more than one hundred years. When one Wisconsin law office’s claim of a 150-year history didn’t add up in my opinion, I questioned it and the Wisconsin law office retreated from its 150-year claim and reduced its claimed age to 115 years.
The oldest law firm in Wisconsin is Foley & Lardner, LLP, which claims to have been established over 165 years ago. The very prominent Milwaukee law office of Borgelt, Powell, Peterson & Frauen traces its roots back 126 years. In 2006, it commemorated its 126-year status by adding information on its letterhead and envelope stating that it was founded in 1881. In 126 years, Borgelt, Powell, Peterson & Frauen also had various partners and law firm names. Shown below is a copy of the Milwaukee law firm’s letterhead as it has been used since 2006.
