Jones Day Cleveland, the Firm's first office, has grown to more than 240 lawyers since it first opened its doors in 1893.  Since that time, Jones Day has served successive generations of companies that have anchored the region's business community.  The Cleveland Office represents clients in all facets of business – from leading companies in the region's traditional manufacturing, mining, energy, utility, and steelmaking industries, to those in health care, banking, private equity, and technology.

The Cleveland Office serves corporate clients, ranging from privately-owned businesses to Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 500 enterprises.  Our attorneys have substantial capability in each of the Firm’s primary practice areas, with particular depth in Business Restructuring & Reorganization, Corporate Criminal Investigations, Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation, Health Care, Intellectual Property, Labor & Employment, Mergers & Acquisitions, Private Equity, and Trial Practice.  A highly qualified staff and state-of-the-art technology, including one of several strategically located Jones Day litigation centers, provide extensive support for our attorneys.

As an integral part of the global network of 2,500 lawyers in the 32 offices which comprise Jones Day worldwide, we bring the talent, experience, and cutting-edge resources of the entire Firm to bear on developing creative and cost-effective solutions to the sophisticated issues and challenging opportunities facing our clients in today’s business environment.

Our lawyers are active in a broad spectrum of programs, from tutoring and leadership training initiatives for local schools to work with the Legal Aid Society and Cleveland Housing Court, from the world-class Cleveland Orchestra to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, to involvement in the Foodbank and United Way Services.

We demonstrate our commitment to the needs of the community through a wide array of pro bono cases and public service activities that, we believe, represents the ultimate opportunity for giving back by utilizing our greatest resources – our people and the breadth and depth of their knowledge.
