Company Profile
Gould & Ratner LLP
Company Overview
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. However, when a team is needed, the right people are just down the hallway. More than just legal advisors, our lawyers consistently demonstrate the care and commitment that set us apart.
Gould & Ratner 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 and entrepreneurs, as well as families and their businesses in real estate, corporate, tax, estate and succession planning, litigation, human resources and employment, construction, intellectual property, environmental and several other related specialty fields.
In this ever-changing and complex world, Gould & Ratner remains one of the few truly mid-size law firms in Chicago. This allows us the unique ability to employ our multi-faceted approach to legal service for clients of every size and in every industry.
Company History
Formed in the 1930s, Gould & Ratner has represented prominent clients in diverse and complicated matters in Chicago and throughout the world. We were fortunate enough to have the Crown Family as our first client, whose holdings grew from its original sand and gravel company into multiple natural resource, industrial, telecommunication, transportation, and real estate activities, including ownership of Rockefeller Center and the Empire State Building. Over the years, we have helped our clients grow from local family-owned operations to national conglomerates – enterprises that we continue to represent.
