Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP

Faegre Drinker was formed in 2020 through the combination of Faegre Baker Daniels and Drinker Biddle & Reath, bringing together substantial Midwestern and East Coast practices. Corporate work, litigation, product liability, and intellectual property were central elements of the combined firm's launch. Its current services extend across business transactions, disputes, and regulated industries.

The practice includes employee benefits and executive compensation, finance and restructuring, corporate trust, and environmental and energy matters. Its corporate offering spans mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and capital markets. Government-facing work includes public policy, government contracts, FDA regulation, and data privacy, alongside healthcare and insurance practices.

This range gives the firm several distinct points of entry for students. A product dispute may draw on technical and regulatory knowledge, while an acquisition can involve benefits, financing, or industry-specific advice. The firm's service descriptions help distinguish those paths and show how its transactional, litigation, and regulatory teams connect around a client's business.
