Frost Brown Todd LLP was a national law firm with over 600 attorneys working across 18 offices in California, Colorado, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia.[1] On January 1, 2026, Frost Brown Todd combined with Gibbons P.C. to form FBT Gibbons. As a result of its combination, the firm has approximately 800 attorneys and 26 offices nationwide.

Overview

[edit]

Frost Brown Todd resulted from the 2000 merger of Frost & Jacobs LLP, a Cincinnati-based firm, with Brown Todd & Heyburn PLLC, a Louisville-based firm, forming Frost Brown Todd.

In January 2009, the firm merged with the Indianapolis-based law firm of Locke Reynolds LLP.[2] In 2023, Frost Brown Todd expanded to California through its merger with AlvaradoSmith, adding offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Orange County.[3] More recently, as part of the firm's coast-to-coast expansion, it added Denver and Newport Beach to the list of markets where it now has an office.[4]

Frost Brown and Newark-based Gibbons P.C. agreed to combine effective January 1, 2026. The new entity, to be named FBT Gibbons LLP, will create a mid-market legal firm with approximately 800 attorneys across 25 offices nationwide.[5]
