Law Firm Overview

LEWIS & KAPPES is a general practice law firm of experienced attorneys delivering aggressive and innovative services in a cost-effective manner. While we offer the kind of work product, human resources and technical support expected from a large law firm, we retain the small firm efficiency and focus on personal attention to client needs.

Located in downtown Indianapolis on the seventeenth floor of the American United Life Building, LEWIS & KAPPES is in the heart of the midwest business district, adjacent to the federal and state courts, agencies and governmental bodies with which we interact.

Our clients range from large corporations to small and medium-sized businesses to individuals, and we also represent municipalities, non-profit organizations and associations of every type. We offer a full range of legal services to meet the needs of a broad variety of clients in a complex and changing world, ranging from high-profile cases with millions of dollars at stake to small pro bono matters undertaken as a public service.

Our legal services are complemented by two independent organizations with which we are associated. A Lewis & Kappes attorney serves as Executive Director of and General Counsel for the Indiana Industrial Energy Consumers, Inc. ("INDIEC"), an association of large volume energy consumers in Indiana. In addition, the Lewis & Kappes Governmental Relations Group, LLC ("L&K Governmental") provides representation in connection with legislative affairs, agency relations, governmental procurements and grass roots coalitions.
