History

The company has its roots in the 1854 law firm of Nathaniel M. Hubbard[4] whose early partners included Frank Dawley (1865-1922), Charles Wheeler (1851-1927) and Justice John M. Grimm (1866-1943). Owen N. Elliot (1886-1982) was a member of the firm from 1911 until his retirement in 1958.[5] The firm was called Grimm, Wheeler & Elliot beginning in 1911 and later became Grimm, Wheeler, Elliott and Shuttleworth.[6] T.M. (Ty) Ingersoll (1902-1972) and V. Craven Shuttleworth (1900-1964)[7] joined the firm in the 1920s. Grimm, Wheeler and Elliot became Elliot, Shuttleworth and Ingersoll in 1945. 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.[8]

The company became Shuttleworth & Ingersoll in 1983.[1] Six lawyers left a rival firm to join Shuttleworth and Ingersoll in 1998[9] and the firm became a professional limited liability company in 1999.[10] The company's president is Gary Streit.[11]
