Barnes & Thornburg Celebrates 30 Years in Fort Wayne

FORT WAYNE (September 19, 2016) – For Barnes & Thornburg, 30 has never looked so good. Along with celebrating its 30th anniversary of serving clients and the community of Fort Wayne, the firm has also moved into the brand new Ash Skyline Plaza building, occupying 17,000 square feet, in downtown Fort Wayne.

Firm leaders see the move as a sign of their continued commitment to downtown and serving the broader community through involvement and contributions in many initiatives and nonprofit organizations. Barnes & Thornburg opened its Fort Wayne office in 1986.

“Signing this new lease deepens our commitment to Fort Wayne that has been our home for many years,” said D. Randall Brown, managing partner of the Fort Wayne office, who has been with the firm since 1990. “We are very excited about this new space and look forward to strengthening our bond with the city and our role as a community leader.”

Barnes & Thornburg’s new address is 888 S. Harrision St., Suite 600, Fort Wayne, Ind. 46802.

“Our city is made up of many businesses that feel strongly in giving back to organizations that provide so much to our community,” said Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry. “Barnes & Thornburg has led by example when it comes to supporting the Fort Wayne community where its lawyers and staff work and live. It’s exciting to see the firm commit to downtown Fort Wayne, and we appreciate their support now and in the future.”

The firm is planning an open house to celebrate its 30th anniversary and to make its new conference room space available to community organizations.

“We wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of our clients, both locally and nationally,” Brown said. “We’re grateful for the trust they have put in us to assist them with their business and legal matters.”

Barnes & Thornburg’s roots in Fort Wayne continue to be strengthened at a time when the firm is seeing strategic growth nationally, including opening of a Dallas office in 2015. The firm has four offices in Indiana and is the largest law firm headquartered in the state.

With more than 600 attorneys and other legal professionals, Barnes & Thornburg is one of the largest law firms in the country. The firm serves clients worldwide from 13 offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Delaware, Indiana, Los Angeles, Michigan, Minneapolis, Ohio, and Washington, D.C.
