 Entrepreneurial Spirit. When Gerald J. Kahn and Dudley J. Godfrey, Jr. founded Godfrey & Kahn in 1957, they had a vision and a passion for success. They began their careers by providing tax and estate planning services to individuals and owners of small to medium-sized businesses. As their reputation for client service and professionalism grew, the firm began to represent the businesses and ventures these individuals managed and owned. Thanks to Dudley and Jerry’s entrepreneurial spirit, the firm is now under its second generation of leadership and continues to grow and prosper. This dynamic tradition of client service and success was also established in Madison.
Philip LaFollette was three-term governor of Wisconsin in the 1930s. He and Gordon Sinykin first discussed establishing a new law firm while serving on General Douglas MacArthur's staff in the Philippines. Upon returning to Madison in 1945, they established their law firm—LaFollette Sinykin, LLP. Its tradition of excellence has helped shape the city's legal community.
