About Densborn Blachly LLP
Densborn Blachly is a business-focused law firm based in Indianapolis, serving the needs of clients locally in the state of Indiana and worldwide. Large law firms have traditionally been the primary storehouse of legal expertise useful to the business community, but BigLaw is experiencing wrenching change. With a strategy of “growth for growth’s sake,” many firms have reached the level of their own incompetence. With bigness, bureaucratic onset, and constant tumult often tends to shift attention inward, away from client service. Driving statistics, rather than creating client value, too often becomes the order of the day. Densborn Blachly provides a refreshing alternative. It offers big-firm expertise without the baggage of bigness.
Why Choose Densborn Blachly LLP?
The Densborn Blachly Difference:
A Refreshing Alternative
The legal profession is experiencing wrenching change. The future belongs to those nimble enough to adapt. Technology is diffusing the old storehouses of legal expertise. Innovation is occurring in small labs without any surrender to mediocrity. The future clearly belongs to those who can best acquire, retrieve, and apply knowledge. Still, “growth for growth’s sake” is pursued as a strategy. The bureaucratic onset and constant tumult that follow tend to shift attention inward, away from client service. Driving statistics, rather than creating client value, too often becomes the order of the day. Densborn Blachly provides a refreshing alternative. It offers the expertise that business clients demand without the baggage that they abhor.
A Next Generation Approach
Just as law schools divide the law into courses, law firms divide into narrow enclaves of expertise. But the problems and projects of business clients never present in a vacuum, nor are they so neatly packaged. Densborn Blachly believes that differentiating service requires a more holistic approach. Its value proposition is experienced legal judgment leavened by a passion for business success. Out of shared passion, enduring relationships develop, and clients are better served. Thus, Densborn Blachly is mission-driven to ensure that its lawyers are well-grounded in the science of business and well-rounded in the practice of law — able to quickly grasp, at least rudimentarily, the client’s business and its position in the industry it serves.
