## Understanding Ropes & Gray in context

Ropes & Gray is included because its public company record connects a named business to an identifiable founding team. The business description, “law firm,” supplies the context for that relationship, with a recorded starting year of 1865. The founding association shown here is with John Codman Ropes. A single association in this library should not be read as a complete list of everyone who helped establish the business.

No official website has been confirmed in this reference record. Use the source trail to distinguish the business from similarly named organizations before contacting it. A founding year describes a historical event; it does not measure business scale, growth, or the length of a founder’s continuing involvement.

This reference library documents public founding associations, including historical businesses and founders. A company may have changed ownership, name, or operating status since the recorded founding event. It is separate from our revenue-qualified growth profiles. Founding does not establish current ownership, employment, company revenue, or an AE client relationship.
