For more than 60 years, our attorneys have played a role in shaping the political, economic and legal landscapes in Wisconsin-leading our business clients ranging from large and medium-sized businesses to entrepreneurial start-ups to successful outcomes. But, in this changing marketplace, it takes more than ever before to be assessed as a leader. With this in mind, Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek has committed itself to redefining what it means to be a leading law firm.

Our commitment is three fold: challenge the rules of convention, redefine the standards of leadership and advance the interests of our clients. That allows us to take care of our clients no matter what the current marketplace dictates.

CHALLENGING CONVENTION
While our legal system may be viewed as slow to change, WHD is constantly challenging itself to evolve and improve. That drives us to question the status quo in order that we can continue to help our clients succeed. That means always questioning where the marketplace is trending. And, what the legal ramifications of these changes will be on our clients and their businesses.

Additionally, it means continuously assessing how our firm is designed so that we can help our clients anticipate and plan for the future.

REDEFINING LEADERSHIP
We focus on redefining through the development of new structures and practices aimed at making WHD's offer agile enough to meet evolving client needs/demands. That is reflected in ...

Our business model
Our organizational structure, which includes a CEO and board of directors, mirrors that of our clients. This allows us to understand the issues and concerns they face in their business environments.

Our level of expertise/experience
WHD is committed to recruiting seasoned attorneys and paralegals to take care of our clients' diverse needs. It's why many of our attorneys complement their legal education with advanced studies in areas germane to our clients' interests.

Our client recommendations and solutions
Relying on a cross-functional team approach, WHD makes recommendations that are not only customized to each client, but reflect the full realm of possible solutions for each engagement.

ADVANCING CLIENT INTERESTS
WHD is singularly focused on advancing our clients in their industries and in their markets. We do that by...

• Incorporating 40 practice areas from the more traditional practices to those representing the latest legal trends--to take care of a wide range of client needs.
• Successfully representing clients' interests in federal and state trial and appellate courts throughout the country.
• Building a corporate counsel group with a long history of closing deals and adding value at every turn.
• Launching a separate Government Affairs arm (WHDGA) to help clients better coordinate with government agencies and officials.
• Creating configurations that benefit our clients.  A strategic alliance with a premiere Chinese law firm helps clients successfully enter and do business in China.  And as the only Wisconsin member of the International Business Law Consortium (IBLC) and ALFA International, we can offer clients the enhanced quality and efficiency that comes from the collective knowledge of a global network of independent law firms, tax advisers and business consultancies.
