About Blank Rome
Blank Rome began in 1946 when its founders established a practice after facing religious exclusion at existing law firms. That origin remains part of the firm's account of its identity and its commitment to people from different backgrounds. The practice initially emphasized transactions and soon added litigation.

The firm's subsequent development included combinations that broadened both its services and its geographic reach. Its current overview describes a practice serving clients across the United States and internationally. The historical shift from a small transactional practice to a broader firm is useful context for understanding the range of work found across its offices today.
Blank Rome identifies client service, inclusion, community investment, pro bono work, well-being and innovation as continuing institutional priorities. These are the firm's stated commitments, rather than promises about a particular associate's experience. The distinctive history is the connection between its founding response to exclusion and the expansion of a business-law practice through successive generations of lawyers and combinations.
