Introduction

WolfBlock LLP has a reputation for innovation and excellence that dates back to 1903, when Morris Wolf, then a recent graduate from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and Horace Stern, his former professor, became law partners.

Wolf and Stern built the firm by taking on the most difficult cases they could, cases holding little appeal to Philadelphia's more established firms. Because of their creativity and thoroughness, the firm soon earned a reputation for successfully handling difficult assignments.

Over the years, WolfBlock has evolved into a dynamic firm that values innovation and excellence in everything it does. Our seasoned attorneys have in-depth experience in a wide range of industries and practice areas, and know what steps to take to keep each client ahead of the competition. What they share is a commitment to excellence in the provision of the highest quality legal services.

One of the many attributes that distinguish WolfBlock from its competition is that the firm understands and encourages the individuality of each of its attorneys and each client. The appreciation of the diversity and uniqueness each attorney brings to the table provides the firm with an invaluable resource - open-minded individuals with the ability to think "outside the box." Each attorney willingly offers his or her own distinct interpretation in open interaction with colleagues, giving each client extraordinary consideration, and creative and fresh solutions.
