History
Kelley Drye & Warren LLP originated from the Mulligan & Barney law firm which was founded by Hiram Barney and William Mulligan in 1836. The firm started as a collections law firm. When Mulligan died in 1838, William Dwight Waterman partnered with Barney. The law firm became Waterman & Barney. In 1841, William Minott Mitchell became a partner and the firm's name was changed to Barney & Mitchell. Barney's first clients of the company include George Catlin, a famous artist who documented the lives of the Indians through painting and proposed the idea of creating National Parks and Francis Scott Key, author of "The Star Spangled Banner. The firm also handled the the Half-Breed Tract land claims and title disputes between the federal government and the Sac and Fox tribes. The firm also helped organize the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. In 1849 the firm became Barney and Butler when Barney partnered with Benjamin F. Butler and his son William Allen Butler. The firm became Barney, Butler, and Parsons in 1859. Barney retired from the firm in 1873. [2]
After Barney's retirement, the firm evolved from different partnerships. In 1874, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas E. Stillman and Thomas H. Hubbard became partners and the name of the law firm became Butler, Stillman & Hubbard. In 1880, John Notman, Adrine Joline Wilhelmus Mynderse and William Allen Butler, the son of Benjamin Butler became partners in the law firm. When Stillman and Hubbard retired in 1896, they took over the firm and changed its name to Butler, Notman, Joline & Mynderse.[3]
