Based in Columbus, Ohio, Welin, O'Shaughnessy + Scheaf LLC is comprised of former Am Law 200 law firm lawyers whose singular focus is providing superior services with small, boutique-firm efficiencies.  We are well known and respected by our peers and we offer years of large-firm experience and expertise to create unique, cost-efficient solutions for complex issues.  Our founding members held management positions at a Midwestern-based Am Law 200 firm, serving as vice-chairs of the construction and business litigation practice groups.

We focus on construction litigation, construction contracts, transactional construction work, complex and general business litigation, and oil and gas work.

On the construction side, the firm has vast experience with public and private construction projects, transportation, heavy/highway, tunneling and infrastructure projects, water and wastewater treatment plant projects, lump sum, guaranteed maximum price, construction management, EPC and design build contracts. Our lawyers are routinely recognized for their accomplishments in their areas of the law.

The firm's business litigation practice includes all manner of commercial disputes, including theft of trade secrets, non-competition litigation, commercial torts, fiduciary litigation, and contract disputes. Our oil-and-gas experience allows us to represent developers, producers, and operators in a wide range of areas, including oil-and-gas litigation.

The small-firm platform allows us to create new and cost-efficient solutions to resolve complex issues.  Alternative-fee arrangements and competitive rates, combined with experience and knowledge in specialized areas of the law, create opportunities for clients to resolve their issues at the earliest possible time with maximum efficiency.  The same dedication and experience that creates the ability to resolve disputes also provides clients with knowledge that even when disputes cannot be resolved at the earliest stage, they will be represented at the highest level of professionalism by lawyers who are committed and willing to take on any challenge.  We are proud to be at the cutting edge of providing superior legal services at the small, boutique-firm level to meet all of our clients' needs.
