Gould & Ratner is a law firm with a wealth of legal experience and business acumen. The firm’s services are designed to reflect the needs of well-established organizations and growing businesses, as well as those of individuals. Our attorneys are trained and educated in multi-faceted legal areas so that each one can guide a client through more than one issue, rather than bouncing them from attorney to attorney. They translate their legal knowledge and business skills into practical solutions that work for our clients.
Formed in the 1930s, Gould & Ratner has represented prominent clients in diverse and complicated matters in Chicago and throughout the world. The firm has grown from three attorneys handling general corporate work for the Crown Family to a multi-dimensional firm of more than 50 lawyers representing Fortune 500 corporations, closely held businesses, financial institutions, entrepreneurs, families, and individuals across a broad range of industries and legal specialties.
The firm serves clients in areas including corporate, tax, estate and succession planning, litigation, human resources and employment, construction, intellectual property, environmental law, real estate, and several other specialty fields. With offices in Chicago and Denver, Gould & Ratner remains one of the few truly mid-size law firms in Chicago, combining deep legal expertise with a personalized, client-focused approach.
