History

The firm was founded in 1903 by William Bagley (1860-1938),[2][3] an attorney and the designated master of ceremonies when William D. Hoard was inaugurated as the 16th Governor of Wisconsin in 1888. The firm as it exists today is the result of a 1994 merger between two Madison firms, DeWitt Porter and Ross & Stevens. Ross & Stevens brought expertise in employee benefits and intellectual property law, and DeWitt Porter brought environmental law and lobbying practices. Jack R. DeWitt, a founding partner, died in 2012.[4] In 2013 DeWitt Ross & Stevens combined with the Minneapolis, Minnesota law firm of Mackall Crounse & Moore. Its office in Minneapolis conducts business as DeWitt Mackall Crounse & Moore.[5] On January 1, 2019, DeWitt Ross & Stevens S.C. and DeWitt Mackall Crounse & Moore S.C. reorganized into one entity to become DeWitt LLP.

Practice

The firm has lawyers in areas including corporate law, employment, environmental law, employee benefits, government relations, health care, litigation, real estate, tax, estate planning, family law, immigration, personal injury, intellectual property law, patents, trademarks and copyright law. The firm’s Government Relations Team has the largest group of lobbyists in the state.[6] As of July 2014 Bradley C. Fulton is the firm’s President and Managing Partner. Attorney Jordan Lamb was involved with the creation and implementation of the Great Lakes Compact in Wisconsin on behalf of Wisconsin agriculture.[7]
