Step foot inside the law offices of Grant Law, LLC, and you’ll see one of the most diverse legal teams in the nation working on cases ranging from commercial litigation, employment and real estate to corporate law and health care. What you’ll also see is that although this firm represents some of the largest clients throughout the world, it’s doing it with a powerhouse team of six.
If you’re looking for a list of attributes that set Grant Law apart from its competitors, you simply need to spend a few minutes talking with Maurice Grant, founder and principal. Staunchly committed to excellence and diversity, Grant is determined to build a firm that represents inclusion, top-notch professionalism and unparalleled leadership.
“Throughout the last two years, we’ve handled matters on every continent except Antarctica, and our lawyers are well positioned to deal with cutting-edge issues,” he says. “Every Grant Law attorney acts as a change agent, shifting the tide in a field known for being the least diverse among any profession requiring licensing and a post-graduate degree.”
Describing his firm as justice driven, Grant says his team consistently delivers both in and out of the courtroom because of a simple philosophy. “I always tell my team: Don’t get ready. Be ready.” It’s a mantra that has defined Grant Law’s work throughout the region and the world, earning the attention and the business of multiple Fortune 500 corporations, major nonprofit organizations and top-notch academic institutions, including the region’s top hospital and largest municipality, the country’s second-largest municipal transit organization and the world’s largest corporation.
“We have a client list that resembles that of much larger firms,” Grant says. “What our clients discover is with us, they can get the same level of service offered by those larger firms but with greater success and better value.”
Introducing Relationships to the Corporate World
In a world where information is instantly accessible, Grant Law works hard to deliver a higher level of accessibility to its clients. Each case is leanly staffed with attorneys. Clients are always given their attorneys’ cell phone numbers and direct email addresses, and attorneys immediately contact clients when a question or new information arises. “We just had a large corporate client tell us that our response time was second to none,” says Grant. “It all points back to our commitment to every relationship. We want our clients to know we’re available whenever they need us.”
As Maurice Grant looks to the horizon, anticipating great changes to commercial litigation, employment and health care, he says Grant Law is well prepared, thanks to the storied resumes of his team members. All Grant Law lawyers serve multiple professional organizations and lead throughout their communities. They remain actively involved in organizations like the American Bar Association, the Chicago Bar Association and the Bankruptcy Executive Council of the Commercial Law League of America. They serve local organizations like Chicago United, the Justice Enterprise Project, the Lighthouse Youth Center and more. For Grant, it all serves as the proverbial proof in the pudding as he watches how his firm’s relentless pursuit of perfection shatters minority stereotypes and paves the way for corporate and nonprofit clients to claim and sustain success.
