Company Description
Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP is a law firm that was founded as Morgan & Lewis on March 10, 1873.
The original founders were Charles Eldridge Morgan, Jr., a veteran of the American Civil War, and Francis Draper Lewis, the son of a successful cotton merchant. In 1883, Morgan & Lewis hired Morris Rex Bockius, who dominated the firm from the turn of the century until his death in 1939. He became a partner fifteen years after he joined the firm, which became Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.
In 1882, the firm began to handle work for the United Gas Improvement Corporation, which became the largest gas and electric utility company in the United States, and is still a client today. By the end of the 19th century and into the 20th, Morgan Lewis counseled many leading companies including Philadelphia’s largest newspaper, Pennsylvania’s largest railroad, a major paper manufacturer, banks and trust companies, and the largest manufacturer of steam locomotives in the world.
In 1994, the New York office of the firm hired about 50 lawyers from the old-line law firm of Lord Day & Lord.
Morgan Lewis was the first registrant of the MLB.com domain name. On September 6, 2000, the firm transferred the domain to Major League Baseball. As part of the agreement, the league posted a link to Morgan Lewis's new website for ten days.
