Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts was a prominent New York law firm that traced its origins to a law partnership formed in New York in 1868. It merged with the San Francisco based law firm Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro in 2001.[1] That firm subsequently became Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman in 2005.

History

The firm was founded in 1868 as Root & Clarke. After several name changes it was known as Winthrop & Stimson after 1898, and Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts after 1927.[2]

Notable alumni and employees

The firm produced many leaders in law, jurisprudence and public service. Elihu Root, one of the firm's founders and a US Secretary of State; Felix Frankfurter, legal scholar and US Supreme Court justice; and Henry L. Stimson, cabinet member under four Presidents of the United States, are among the prominent attorneys who practiced at Winthrop Stimson.
