Our Heritage

Founded in 1892 as Newman & Northrup, Aronberg Goldgehn Davis & Garmisa began as a two-attorney practice in Chicago focused on business transactions and banking matters. Through the decades, the firm expanded by remaining true to its founding principles: loyalty, steadfast determination, and an unwavering commitment to quality and integrity in client service.

Over more than 130 years, Aronberg Goldgehn has evolved into a full-service, mid-size law firm representing businesses, financial institutions, families and individuals across nearly every major practice area.

Today, the firm preserves its founding ideals while cultivating a culture that values its people — attorneys, staff and clients alike.  With roots deeply embedded in Chicago, Aronberg Goldgehn proudly carries forward the legacy that began with Newman & Northrup more than a century ago.

Our Underlying Philosophy

Aronberg Goldgehn's success is built on a simple truth: a thriving law practice begins with strong relationships. This belief forms the foundation of the firm's Practice Made Personal® philosophy.

For generations, Aronberg Goldgehn has had the privilege of serving clients across a broad spectrum of industries: major banks and financial institutions; insurance companies; manufacturers; developers; professional service corporations; mid-sized and smaller entrepreneurial businesses; sole proprietorships; individuals and families. In every engagement, the firm emphasizes understanding each client personally to deliver thoughtful, practical, and effective legal counsel.

Every Aronberg Goldgehn attorney approaches clients’ matters as if they were their own — because the firm isn’t just in the legal business; it’s in the people business. That is Practice Made Personal®.

Our Global Reach

Aronberg Goldgehn's commitment to resolving client matters efficiently — whether in Chicago or around the world — led the firm to form and assume a leadership role in the Legal Netlink Alliance (LNA) more than 20 years ago.

LNA is a global alliance of carefully selected, independent, mid-size law firms that share the same dedication to quality, integrity and client service. Through the alliance, Aronberg Goldgehn provides clients with access to trusted legal representation virtually anywhere in the world.

The network offers the breadth and resources of a large legal organization without the inefficiencies, conflicts or impersonal service that often accompany large international law firms.
