Stinson Leonard Street LLP

What Stinson Leonard Street LLP does

Stinson LLP (legal name Stinson LLP, formerly Stinson Leonard Street LLP) is a US-based full-service law firm founded in 1878, headquartered in Minneapolis with a regional hub in Kansas City and 16 office locations spanning the Midwest, West Coast, East Coast, and Sunbelt. The firm operates as a privately held limited liability partnership owned by its equity partners, with Allison M. Murdock serving as Managing Partner. Its core offering is professional legal services delivered through named partners and attorneys across 15+ practice areas, including Business Litigation (180+ trial attorneys), Corporate Finance, Real Estate & Public Finance (Band 1 Chambers USA), Banking & Financial Services, Data Centers & Digital Infrastructure, Health Care Litigation & Regulatory, Intellectual Property & Technology, Labor/Employment & Benefits, Estate & Trust Litigation, Tax/Trusts & Estates, Nonprofit Organizations, Government Contracts & Investigations, Cybersecurity & Data Privacy, Energy, and Automotive Finance.

The firm serves corporate and business clients as its primary segment, with secondary segments in financial services (national banks, mortgage and auto lenders), real estate and data center industry (developers, operators, REITs), healthcare providers, nonprofit organizations, and individuals/families for wealth planning. Revenue is generated through professional services billing — primarily hourly rates, fixed fees for specific matters, and contingency arrangements where appropriate — with no public revenue disclosure. The go-to-market is direct enterprise client engagement via attorney-client relationships across the 16-office national platform, with thought leadership (Law360, Bloomberg Law, Daily Business Review), events, and a firm website supporting top- and mid-funnel demand.

The firm recently adopted the Harvey AI platform firmwide (2026-02-05) following a 100+ attorney pilot, integrated with LexisNexis content via Ask LexisNexis, for regulatory research, litigation preparation, contract drafting and analysis, and M&A due diligence. Operational technology is otherwise conventional professional services tooling (no proprietary AI models or software products are disclosed). Recent strategic actions include the 2025 acquisition of Severson & Werson (California), the 2018 acquisition of Senniger Powers (IP), the 2026 opening of a Los Angeles office, and a sustained 2026 lateral partner hiring campaign across Financial Services, Bankruptcy, Class Action, White Collar, and Business Litigation practices.
