Overview

For clients throughout the Midwest and across the country, Krieg DeVault provides clear, practical legal guidance that considers the broader picture while attending to important details. We apply that approach to each legal challenge, developing solutions that reflect your needs, your business, and your goals.

Although much has changed since Krieg DeVault was founded in Indianapolis more than 150 years ago, our commitment to listening to our clients remains constant. Client trust and continued relationships have helped us grow from a two-lawyer general practice in the mid-1870s into a business-focused law firm. With offices throughout the nation’s heartland, we are positioned to serve a diverse range of clients.

Financial institutions, global manufacturers, national healthcare providers, organizations of varying sizes and industries, and individuals all turn to us for practical legal solutions. They understand that significant disputes, complex transactions, and challenging business matters call for an approach that considers both the larger objectives and the details that affect them.

Krieg DeVault’s Vision

Our firm is committed to providing thoughtful, innovative client service as a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative team guided by our CORE values.

Our CORE Values: Commitment | Ownership | Respect | Excellence

Through our CORE values, we remain committed to one another and to every client. We value integrity, professionalism, respect, and excellence in all that we do. We also value cooperation and teamwork, dedicated client service, ethical and professional conduct, and meaningful involvement in the communities that have contributed to our firm’s growth. We encourage an inclusive workplace in which all lawyers and staff can share their perspectives. While we work diligently for our clients, we also support work-life balance, flexibility, personal interests, and community involvement.

How Krieg DeVault Uses Artificial Intelligence to Support Client Service

At Krieg DeVault, we recognize that artificial intelligence is changing the legal industry, and we are evaluating its appropriate use to support our practice and serve our clients. Our Innovation Committee works with the firm’s Infotech Committee and AI Task Force to assess legal technology and develop responsible ways to incorporate useful tools into our work.

We use AI-supported tools in selected areas of our practice, including legal research and case management. These tools can help our attorneys locate relevant case law, statutes, and other legal resources, while also assisting with routine tasks and the organization of case information. This allows our attorneys to devote more time to legal analysis, strategy, and communication with clients. Our approach to AI is intended to promote efficiency while maintaining professional judgment, confidentiality, and the quality of service our clients expect.
