- Land Use and ZoningFollowing the Second World War, Sorling, Catron & Hardin grew and prospered along with the Springfield community. Philip E. Hanna joined the firm in 1945; Charles H. Northrup in 1946; George W. Cullen (1917-1986) in 1950; and Thomas L. Cochran (1916-1994) in 1956. The growth of the firm also allowed individual lawyers to concentrate their practices in particular areas, a trend that had developed among practitioners across the country. Philip Hanna concentrated in tax and estate work. Charles Northrup concentrated his practice in real estate and zoning law. George Cullen was a trial attorney, and Thomas Cochran concentrated on corporate and transactional matters. Such concentration in a particular field of law allowed these attorneys to provide exceptional service to their clients. As a result, Sorling, Catron & Hardin became synonymous with quality legal service in Springfield.
- Personal InjuryOver the years the firm has grown in size, geographic diversity and experience to handle the most complex matters for its clients. Now known as Sorling Northrup, the company employs more than 40 attorneys, paralegals, and support staff, making it one of the largest downstate Illinois law firms. In November of 2011, Sorling Northrup outgrew its original location in the Illinois Building and relocated its main offices to the PNC Bank building, a five-story building on the north side of Illinois’ old state capitol in downtown Springfield. In recent years, its geographical base has also expanded. In 2012, the firm opened an office in downtown Chicago. This regional and statewide presence reflects Sorling Northrup’s ability to service its rapidly growing statewide and national clientele with respect to those clients’ broad interests in downstate Illinois. Finally, as the firm retains its core legal service business in such areas as tax, estate planning, family law, business and personal injury litigation, and business transactions, it has also grown to match the needs of its clients in such increasingly complex legal areas as health care, government lobbying, and representing individuals and organizations before numerous state regulatory agencies.
