Our Firm

Committed to Excellence

Since 1955, the attorneys of Lewis Wagner have provided pro-active counsel for individuals, small businesses, governmental agencies and Fortune 500 companies. Our unique approach inspires imaginative and practical solutions for clients and utilizes traits all too rare today – common sense, and accountability.

Diversity & Inclusion

Dedicated to Cultivating and Maintaining
an Inclusive Workplace

Since its inception, the law firm of Lewis Wagner has been committed to diversity and inclusion. Diversity is one of our founding principles and an integral part of our firm culture.  We are proud that our firm’s story begins with being one of the first racially-integrated law firms in Indianapolis. Our commitment to diversity and inclusiveness in the workplace continues to be a priority in the firm’s culture.

Since 1955

Robert F. Wagner and Edward D. Lewis founded Lewis Wagner with a vision for an inclusive law firm focused on leveraging practical solutions, common sense, and accountability to exceed client expectations.

More than 65 years later, that same vision guides us in all that we do.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

Since its inception, the law firm of Lewis Wagner has been committed to diversity and inclusion. Diversity is one of our founding principles and an integral part of our firm culture.

We are proud that our firm’s story begins with being one of the first racially-integrated law firms in Indianapolis. Our commitment to diversity and inclusiveness in the workplace continues to be a priority in the firm’s culture.

We believe that diversity of people, ideas and experience yield innovative results for our clients and fosters a more rewarding work environment. In furtherance of this objective, Lewis Wagner has consistently outperformed our peers in the recruiting, hiring and promotion of female attorneys and attorneys of diverse backgrounds.

Our diversity efforts are supported internally through the Diversity and Inclusion Committee, which implements programs, initiatives and events to promote the firm’s ongoing commitments. The committee, made up of attorneys, paralegals and staff members, oversees the firm’s efforts to foster an inclusive work environment, recruit and retain talent, and sponsor diversity programs and events in our community. We conduct regular training and host a variety of internal events each year to ensure all firm members are cognizant of these important initiatives.

We believe our firm should reflect the diversity of the community in which we practice. We are an ardent sponsor of and participant in the Indianapolis Bar Association’s Diversity Job Fair, which presents job opportunities for future attorneys from historically underrepresented backgrounds. Our attorneys are also involved in local, state and national organizations to promote diversity and inclusion in the legal profession.

Our Commitment to Social Justice and Equality

As a group of civil lawyers committed to social justice and equality, Lewis Wagner condemns the deeply disturbing acts of hatred, racism, and discrimination that our country has witnessed. The tragic and senseless deaths of George Floyd and so many other heartbreaking injustices show just how much work we as a country have ahead of us to build a more just, equal, and safe society. We acknowledge the feelings of pain, frustration, and outrage that have understandably erupted in the wake of these tragedies, and we support the right of the American people to peaceable protest. We stand with the Black Lives Matters movement and all of its allies in pushing for systemic change in American structures that perpetuate racial inequality and injustice. As legal professionals, we will do what we can to listen, learn, understand, educate, and advocate. All people, in every community, including our own, are equally deserving of value, respect, and safety.
