History

Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro was established in San Francisco following the California Gold Rush, helping to create such giants as Chevron and Pacific Bell, now known as AT&T. Mergers with Los Angeles-based Lillick & McHose in 1990 and Washington, DC-based Cushman Darby & Cushman in 1996 created a presence on both coasts for the firm, and a 2001 merger with Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts expanded the New York office.[4]

Pillsbury as it is known today is the product of a 2005 merger between Pillsbury Winthrop and DC-based Shaw Pittman, a large 300 lawyer law firm with strengths in global sourcing, energy, real estate, technology and communications.[4] Stimson, Putnam & Roberts, the New York precursor to Winthrop, can trace itself back to 1868 by future Secretary of State and Nobel Peace laureate Elihu Root.[4]
