Info

Ruder Ware is Wisconsin's largest law firm headquartered north of Madison. The firm provides some of the state's best-known national and international companies with prompt, practical, and affordable solutions. George L. Ruder founded the firm in 1920. At the time, northern Wisconsin was home to many of the state's most successful entrepreneurs making their fortunes in the growing lumber and paper industries. At first, the new firm specialized in real estate and probate. A decade later, as a direct response to client needs, George Ruder began focusing on business law for more comprehensive legal counsel on complex new business regulations created by the New Deal. With legal guidance from the firm, many small and medium sized businesses throughout northern and central Wisconsin thrived. On July 1, 2005, we were pleased to merge with the Garvey Anderson Law Firm in Eau Claire whose commitment to the area remains steadfast. Currently, the firm has many clients who are small businesses as well as many clients who have become major companies serving national and international markets.
