Shuttleworth & Ingersoll P.L.C. is a law firm located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It has been called one of the oldest legal firms in the western United States[1] and in 2012 was considered one of the largest law firms in Iowa.[2] In addition to Cedar Rapids, the firm also has offices in Coralville, Davenport, Waterloo, and Nashua.[3][4]
The company has its roots in the 1854 law firm of Nathaniel M. Hubbard[5] whose early partners included Frank Dawley (1865-1922), Charles Wheeler (1851-1927) [citation needed] and Justice John M. Grimm (1866-1943).[citation needed] Owen N. Elliot (1886-1982) was a member of the firm from 1911 until his retirement in 1958.[6] The firm was called Grimm, Wheeler & Elliot beginning in 1911 and later became Grimm, Wheeler, Elliott and Shuttleworth.[7] T.M. (Ty) Ingersoll (1902-1972) and V. Craven Shuttleworth (1900-1964)[8] joined the firm in the 1920s. Grimm, Wheeler and Elliot became Elliot, Shuttleworth and Ingersoll in 1945. [citation needed] Robert O. Daniel (1914-1992) was associated with the firm for 52 years. He remained active in his practice at the firm, until his death in 1992.[9]
The company became Shuttleworth & Ingersoll in 1983. Six lawyers left a rival firm to join Shuttleworth and Ingersoll in 1998[10] and the firm became a professional limited liability company in 1999.[11] The company's president is Brian Bergstrom.[12][3]
