A Storied Past
Saul Ewing’s origins can be traced to 1863 to attorney and art collector John G. Johnson, the most prominent and influential Philadelphia lawyer of the late 19th century. Johnson argued 182 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, and practiced law until his death in April 1917. After his death, Johnson’s law practice was taken over by his salaried associates, who formed Pritchard, Saul, Bayard & Evans, which maintained offices at 1835-43 Land Title Building in Philadelphia. In March 1921 the firm was dissolved and a split of attorneys occurred, leading to the foundation of today’s Saul Ewing.

Our attorneys employ a unique cross-practice and collaborative approach in client engagements, often working seamlessly from several of the Firm’s offices as one team. Saul Ewing’s client services team approach ensures that the experience and talents of our attorneys are aligned with the needs of our clients.

Inclusive and Charitable
Saul Ewing attorneys understand that legal representation extends beyond client work and into our communities. To underscore the Firm’s legal commitment to underserved populations, Saul Ewing launched “We’re All In” in 2005, a unique pro bono program in which all of the Firm’s attorneys pledged to provide 25 hours of pro bono service during the year. As part of the initiative, Saul Ewing chose to focus its pro bono efforts on two underserved populations: the elderly and veterans.
