Rembolt Ludtke

What Rembolt Ludtke does

Rembolt Ludtke LLP is a Lincoln, Nebraska-based full-service law firm founded in 1970, operating as a privately held Limited Liability Partnership under the registered service mark "Nebraska's Law Firm®." The firm delivers legal services through 20 distinct practice areas—including Employment/Labor, Litigation, Estate Planning, Mergers & Acquisitions, Government Relations, Telecommunications/Utilities, and a specialized Broadband Practice Group—serving individuals, businesses, public entities, nonprofits, and agricultural clients across all 93 Nebraska counties. Its service delivery model is direct attorney engagement through two physical offices (Lincoln headquarters and Seward) plus the newly established Rembolt Ludtke Network, an of-counsel affiliation initiative launched in May 2026 with McQuillan & Wendell (Ogallala) as its anchor member.

The underlying "platform" is the firm's collective attorney talent and reputation rather than proprietary technology; the firm maintains no public or partner-facing API, no mobile applications, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, and its marketing channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, podcast, webinars) are conventional professional services distribution tools. Its business model is professional services revenue: hourly and matter-based legal fees billed to clients, with pricing that is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Practice areas function as cross-sell levers, allowing the firm to retain clients whose needs span employment, transactional, litigation, and regulatory matters. Third-party validations—Chambers USA rankings, Best Lawyers Lawyer of the Year awards, Great Plains Super Lawyers, and fellowship credentials held by partners—function as both marketing assets and quality signals supporting rate discipline.

The firm is led by CEO Tara Paulson, Chair Tim Clare, Chief Strategy Officer Mark Fahleson, and CFO Tim Moll. Recent strategic activity centers on the May 2026 launch of the Rembolt Ludtke Network as a structured growth vehicle to extend geographic and practice-area reach through affiliations with rural Nebraska firms, complemented by recurring client-education programming (First Friday Webinar Series) and thought-leadership content. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; based on headcount (51-100 employees), 20 practice areas, and premium regional positioning, estimated annual revenue is in the $25M-$50M band.
