The story

Axley Brynelson traces its lineage back to the 1885 partnership of Burr W. Jones and Francis Lamb. The firm has had three of their attorneys serve as president of the Wisconsin Bar Association. As of January 2015, they had 168 cases before the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The firm took the name Axley Brynelson in 1988 with the merger of Brynelson, Herrick, Buchaida, Dorchel and Armstrong with Easton & Harms. At that time, the newly formed company was the largest tenant of the new Manchester Place office building at 2 East Mifflin in Madison occupying 2 floors (20,000 sqft).
