About
Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson is a major international law firm headquartered in New York City, one of the largest and most prestigious in the United States. It traces its origins to the turn of the twentieth century through predecessor firms Riegelman & Bach, Riegelman Hess & Strasser, and Strasser Spiegelberg Fried and Frank, founded by German Jewish attorneys with roots in New York City’s German-Jewish business community. The firm opened its Washington, D.C. office in 1949 and changed to its current name in 1971 following Sargent Shriver joining as partner; other partners at the time included Walter Fried, Hans J. Frank, Sam Harris, and Leslie Jacobson.
