Practice/Organization Description
Bold. Creative. Unique. Three words our clients use to describe Chartwell Law. This approach is fundamental to our culture and began with our name. Our founders envisioned a firm built on collaboration and teamwork—one that transcends individual identities—a community where everyone openly contributes unique experiences and ideas and celebrates the differences that make us Chartwell.
Today, having grown to a nationally ranked firm with over 230 attorneys across more than 30 offices coast-to-coast, that vision has become a reality. Chartwell prioritizes partnering with our clients to deliver personalized legal services, focused on efficiently obtaining the best possible results on behalf of our clients.
Chartwell stands as advisors and defenders of businesses of every size, from national and multinational companies to local, independently owned entities, to domestic and international insurers, in a wide range of legal matters. Our experienced attorneys excel at handling complex, multi-party cases involving insurance coverage, bad faith, and reinsurance; construction defects and site accidents; automobile and trucking accidents; transportation law; retail, entertainment, and hospitality matters; employment law; workers’ compensation; first-party property; creditors’ rights; marine; among various other facets of general civil and commercial litigation.
Our attorneys and staff, coming from diverse backgrounds, form close-knit teams with one another and our clients to facilitate a creative, thoughtful, and collaborative approach to legal services. As trusted advisors and valued friends, we truly partner with our clients to achieve their goals. United in our commitment to helping our clients, we maintain a delicate balance between our national presence and your boutique experience.

The Chartwell name:
When the firm launched in 2002, we decided to forgo the traditional practice of identifying a law firm by the names of its founding partners in favor of a name that captures our attitude, values, and spirit.
Chartwell, the home of Winston Churchill, was chosen to represent our commitment to provide our clients with sound advice, zealous representation and cheerful goodwill.
Chartwell, with its noble brick walls, busy work-study and vibrant grounds, embodies the magnificent public life of this extraordinary leader. In this way, the Chartwell name represents our law firm’s aspiration to serve our clients with integrity, vigor and determination, while still treating our adversaries with respect.
