A Global Legal Powerhouse Born in Cleveland
Jones Day is not just a law firm; it is a Cleveland institution that has grown into a global legal titan. Founded in this city in 1893 as Blandin & Rice, the firm has expanded from its Midwestern roots to become one of the largest and most prestigious law firms in the world, with over 2,500 lawyers in more than 40 offices across five continents. Despite its global reach, the Cleveland office remains a cornerstone of the firm’s identity and a powerhouse in its own right. Operating under the unique ”One Firm Worldwide” philosophy, Jones Day eliminates the internal competition typical of other firms, fostering a culture of collaboration that allows clients in Cleveland to tap into the firm’s worldwide reservoir of talent and expertise.
