Firm Overview:
Founded in 1994, Hangley Aronchick Segal Pudlin & Schiller is a 49-lawyer firm known for the sophistication of its matters, the roster of its clients and the quality of its work. In the Delaware Valley, the firm is unparalleled in its ability to attract the most highly qualified attorneys, both at the entry level and laterally. The firm’s goal has always been to provide big firm quality representation in a small firm environment. We are known as the Philadelphia firm to turn to when a case is really, truly, honestly going to go to trial. While Hangley Aronchick may be smaller than the firms it goes toe-to-toe with, potential clients and referring attorneys know that they can count on the firm for the responsiveness of a small firm without sacrificing the quality, intellect, and work ethic of the largest firms in the nation.
