We are proud to represent 45 of the Fortune 100. Internationally, our attorneys have represented clients in over 85 countries and territories, and we are a founding member of Globalaw, a worldwide network of law firms with offices throughout the U.S. and in 80+ cities internationally.
Beyond serving large national and international clients, we're also a good fit for smaller companies, including family-owned businesses, local and regional government agencies, individuals, and nonprofit groups. Whether large or small, our clients know they can depend on us to understand their business and create solutions that address their specific needs.
Few can claim 17th century Renaissance Italy as the birthplace of their family start-up. Yet, nearly 400 years and nine generations later, D’Addario & Co. proudly continues to do so. Today, we are globally recognized as the world’s premier instrument accessory manufacturer for strings, drumheads, drumsticks, reeds, mouthpieces and more. Inspired by our past and paving a future path, D’Addario is fueled by an ever-expanding family of musicians, engineers, artists and visionaries driven by innovation and continuous improvement. Our charitable foundation also ensures that music education reaches underprivileged students around the globe. And with a genuine dedication to US manufacturing, environmentally sustainable practices, and a diverse family of passionate employees, what started in the Renaissance has become an ever-growing revolution.
