Barnes & Thornburg grew from the 1982 merger of Indianapolis and South Bend firms, then added labor and intellectual-property boutiques as it expanded nationally. Its practice mix includes business disputes, financing, environmental matters and insurance work. The firm describes a Midwest rate structure as part of its approach to serving clients across US offices. For students, the combination of Indiana roots and later specialist additions offers a concrete way to investigate which practices drive an individual office.
