Philadelphia is the founding city of Ballard Spahr and home to its largest office, with attorneys representing clients in litigation, business and transactions, finance, real estate, and intellectual property.

Our size ranks us as one of Philadelphia's largest law firms, and our representation of such iconic clients as the Philadelphia Phillies, Glaxo SmithKline, DuPont, Comcast, and PNC Bank, along with major universities in the region, confirms our stature as one of the city's top law firms.

Two of our practices—Real Estate and Litigation—have been ranked the best in Pennsylvania for their areas of law by The Legal Intelligencer, America's oldest daily law journal. Additionally, Law360 has recognized us as a Pennsylvania Regional Powerhouse, and we were named 2020 Best Lawyers-U.S. News national Law Firm of the Year for First Amendment litigation.
