On March 1, 1893, Judge Edwin J. Blandin and William Lowe Rice founded a new law firm in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. More than a century later, Jones Day has evolved into one of the most recognized law firms - a truly global Firm of more than 2,400 lawyers in 40 offices around the world. As our clients transformed from local companies to national and then global enterprises, the Firm has grown with them to meet their changing needs.
