[edit] History

The firm was founded in 1924 with the merger of two firms, Worthington, Stettinius & Strong, which had been practicing law in Cincinnati since 1885, and Taft & Taft, the firm consisting of Robert Taft and his brother Charles Phelps Taft II. The firm's labor department was founded by J. Mack Swigert who became nationally prominent after assisting the late Senator Robert Taft in the drafting and passage of the ground-breaking Taft-Hartley Act over the veto of President Harry S. Truman.

The firm has been heavily involved in the life of Ohio, having worked on such projects as the Cincinnati Union Terminal, the Carew Tower, Kings Island, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, and Paul Brown Stadium. The firm has also worked on numerous prominent matters for its clients, including representation of Pete Rose, the Cincinnati Bengals, Gibson Greetings in its groundreaking suit against Bankers Trust involving financial derivatives, and the Cincinnati Masters tennis tournament.

At present, Taft has over 200 attorneys who practice in the areas of business & finance, labor, litigation, and tax. The firm serves as general counsel for clients large and small, public and private, and whose businesses range from local to international in scope.
