75-Year Relationship
Lewis Rice's representation of the CIC Group companies traces back to the late 1930s, when the Firm began providing legal services to the founding business, the "John Nooter Boiler Works Company." That entity later changed its name to Nooter Corporation, which remains one of CIC Group's primary subsidiaries to this day. Over the many intervening decades, company leadership naturally has changed many times. Likewise, the attorneys of Lewis Rice working with them have changed. Yet the attorney-client relationship built on mutual trust, respect, and confidence has endured. Lewis Rice is proud to proclaim the CIC Group family of companies as its oldest and most loyal client relationship.
