As a 21st century law firm, Porter Wright has proven to be a nimble, thoughtful partner evolving to meet the needs of its clients, from new entities to those it has represented for over a century.
The diverse professional backgrounds of Porter Wright’s attorneys allow the Firm to provide advice that works in an ever changing business environment. The Firm has developed a portfolio of attorney experience focused on meeting both the business and legal goals of its clients, including former software engineers, former in-house counsel in various industries and experts in the fields of health care, nanotechnology and bioscience. It is this first-hand experience that gives Porter Wright attorneys a big-picture perspective. The Firm annually is recognized as a leader by The Best Lawyers in America®, Chambers USA and U.S. News–Best Lawyers Best Law Firms rankings. Most recently, Porter Wright was selected by the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) as one of only 12 ACC Value Champions worldwide in 2012.
Tracing its roots to 1846 in London, Ohio, Porter Wright was recently listed as the 'Oldest Central Ohio Business' by Columbus Business First. The firm has represented some of the most successful businesses in Ohio and across the nation. Poter Wright has provided service to its clients for more than a century and a half and is enduringly linked to the history of law in Ohio.
The Firm’s founder, Richard Harrison, set up shop at a small desk in the London, Ohio, Courthouse 165 years ago. He traveled to surrounding small towns, assisting clients in resolving disputes and addressing legal issues. Harrison also served Madison County in the House of Representatives and later was a member of the Ohio Senate. As a Congressman during the Civil War, Harrison participated in deliberations that helped shape the country’s future.
As the nation expanded, the Firm’s representation of the railroad industry grew to include The Pennsylvania Railroad Co. and American Railway Express Co. By the turn of the century, the Firm had become counsel to P. W. Huntington & Co. Bankers, Columbus Iron and Steel Co., and Columbus Gas Light and Heating Co. The Firm also represented utility industry pioneers including Ohio Bell Telephone Co., The Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric Co., and Postal Telegraph Co. By the 1950s, the Firm’s clientele had grown to include The Klingbeil Company, The Columbus Museum of Art, Max & Erma’s and White Castle.
The Firm gained national exposure through “The Harding Papers” case in the mid-1960s. Earl Morris, a Porter Wright partner who later served as Ohio’s first American Bar Association President, was deeply involved in the high profile matter concerning the love letters of former President Warren G. Harding. At the time, the case brought together some of the most preeminent legal minds in the state. As the Firm’s statewide and national reputation grew, it undertook some of the most challenging issues of the times. In the late 1970s, partner Sam Porter defended the Columbus Board of Education in litigation related to desegregation of the Columbus Public Schools. When the Harvard Defense Fund and the NAACP filed suit against the Columbus Board of Education, the Board turned to Porter to lead the defense team. Porter recalls, “During the civil strife of the 1960s and 1970s, the school system became one of the battlegrounds.” Although considerable unrest surrounded these suits elsewhere, “...there was never any violence. All parties and lawyers maintained civility and decorum and the local media was very careful to
report the issue objectively.”
In 1977, the Firm achieved a significant milestone—merging to form Porter, Wright, Morris and Arthur. At the time, it was the largest merger of two law firms in Ohio and one of the earliest of such mergers nationally. It was a successful combination that has stood the test of time. In the years following, the Firm added offices in Washington, D.C.; Cincinnati, Dayton and Cleveland, Ohio; and Naples, Florida.
In the early 1980s, Porter Wright had more offices in Ohio than any other law firm. The Firm’s strength proved critical in 1985 when The State of Ohio retained Porter Wright following the collapse of Home State Savings Bank, then the largest bank crisis since the Great Depression. The Firm’s work resulted in significant new legislation and recovery of over $200 million needed to protect Home State’s depositors. The year also marked the date the Firm moved into its current Columbus offices in the Huntington Center at 41 South High Street.
Since that time, Porter Wright has served clients in many important cases, including the representation of the Columbus-America Discovery Group in its efforts to win rights to the treasure discovered aboard the sunken ship, SS Central America, in the 1980s and 1990s. Porter Wright has helped entrepreneurial and technology companies to grow and expand their businesses, including Checkfree Corporation (now Fiserve), which grew to become a Fortune 500 financial services company. The firm led the successful defense of a coal mining permit to mine under a National Natural Landmark forest, recovering $4.7 million from the State of Ohio for a regulatory taking of coal property. The Ohio underground mining industry views this as the seminal precedent protecting private property rights against regulation that effectively prevents mining.
Managing Partner Robert “Buzz” Trafford notes: “For more than 165 years, our attorneys have worked to preserve the integrity and professionalism that was the hallmark of our founder—Richard Harrison. Through several wars, the Great Depression, recessions and years of social unrest, our firm has weathered change in the nation, state and the legal profession itself with resilience and growth. We recognize that the Firm’s success is due to our commitment to clients and community and to our adherence to the highest standards of the legal profession.”

or more than 70 years, the growth and history of the law firm of Webb, Tanner & Powell has been inextricably woven with that of Gwinnett County. The firm's leadership has been instrumental in Gwinnett's emergence as one of the nation's leading commercial centers.

In 1929, founding partner Marvin Allison opened a law office in Lawrenceville. A dynamic trial lawyer, Mr. Allison was known for his natural ability to determine the essential elements of a case and present them effectively. Active in the organization of the Gwinnett County Chamber of Commerce, he served as its first president. Mr. Allison also operated local newspapers in the 1940s and 1950s, providing a news source for the emerging county. Serving as newspaper publisher until his death in 1959, his papers were the forerunners of today's Gwinnett Daily Post. Mr. Allison was also instrumental in the founding of the Gwinnett County Building and Loan Association, which became Gwinnett Federal Savings Bank.
In 1942, Charles Pittard joined the firm. Recognized as an outstanding property lawyer by title insurance companies and his fellow attorneys, Mr. Pittard laid a solid foundation for the firm's specialty practice area of real estate law. He became the first judge of the Superior Court of Gwinnett County in 1960, serving until his death in 1983.
In 1952, Mr. Allison brought Jones Webb into the firm. Today, Jones Webb stands as the dean of Gwinnett's business lawyers. He is a source of knowledge, experience and leadership. In the 1950's, as attorney for Georgia Power Company, Mr. Webb helped put in place the utility infrastructure that fuels the growth of Gwinnett County today. In the 1960's, Mr. Webb served as the attorney for the Gwinnett County Board of Education providing critical advice in the peaceful desegregation of Gwinnett's public schools. For more than thirty years, while serving as a director and attorney for the First National Bank of Gwinnett County and Gwinnett Federal Savings and Loan Association, Mr. Webb was involved in key decisions that provided the capital resources which undergird Gwinnett's business community today.
