Message from our Managing Partner 

On behalf of the partners, attorneys and staff at Ulmer & Berne, it is my privilege to welcome you to ulmer.com.

As a professional service organization, our aim can be simply stated: We seek to provide our clients with superior service, at every opportunity and without exception.

We bring our focus, superior service and value to clients large, medium and small, and local, regional and national. We are proud of our client relationships, ranging from Fortune 500 companies, to individuals, to innovative businesses on the rise. With offices in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and Chicago, Ulmer & Berne is positioned to deliver the reach, depth, presence and trust that every client deserves.

As part of that commitment, Ulmer & Berne continues its aggressive expansion into the Chicago market. For example, we recently moved into a new office space in Chicago’s Citigroup Center and continue to expand the office’s practice areas. Strategic lateral recruiting has allowed us to significantly increase attorney headcount in the Chicago office from two to fifteen in the last year alone, further enhancing our ability to provide clients with a wide range of legal services.

Our attorneys are regularly recognized for their abilities as leaders in their field. Ulmer & Berne received top rankings in the 2011 Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, while the 2011 edition of Best Lawyers in America® included 46 attorneys from our Firm -- a number that continues to grow dramatically every year. Recently, Ulmer & Berne was recognized by clients on the 2011 “BTI Client Service A-Team,” as an unparalleled leader in client service among law firms for its unprompted communications, regional reputation, ability to meet scope and budget, and outstanding value.

We’re very proud of all of these accomplishments, and believe they reflect our commitment to our clients and their continued success.

Welcome to Ulmer & Berne.

Sincerely,


Kip Reader
Managing Partner
