The law firm has been operating from temporary offices at One PPG Place since April while planning for a permanent location. The firm’s Union Trust Building office is expected to open in October once final interior improvements are complete.
“Opening our Pittsburgh office in the Union Trust Building is more than a location decision – it’s a statement of stability and partnership,” said Saxton & Stump CEO James W. Saxton, an Allegheny County native and graduate of Duquesne Law School. “This building reflects the character and vision of our firm and the caliber of talent we’re attracting – rooted in tradition, driven by innovation, and built for the future.”
The 12,000-square-foot office space is designed for growth, with the firm projecting to double its headcount in Pittsburgh within the next 18 months.
Located at 501 Grant St. in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, the Union Trust Building is one of the city’s most architecturally significant landmarks. Originally commissioned by Henry Clay Frick in 1915, the Flemish-Gothic building was acquired by an affiliate of Boston-based developer The Davis Companies (Davis) in 2014. Davis completed a $100 million restoration of the building, which now serves as a modern hub for premier office, retail, and dining space.
The location places Saxton & Stump’s team within walking distance of city and federal courthouses and many of the firm’s clients.
The Pittsburgh office is now home to 12 professionals, including nine attorneys, serving clients in Construction, Construction Litigation, Commercial Litigation, Intellectual Property, Trucking and Commercial Transportation, and Senior Care groups. Nine of those professionals came aboard in 2025, including four attorneys from Burns White in April and two from Pietragallo Gordon Alfano Bosick & Raspanti, LLP in June.
With the addition of its Union Trust Building office, Saxton & Stump now operates 10 offices across Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and New Jersey, including recent expansions in York County, Pa.
“This is just the beginning of our story in Pittsburgh,” Saxton said. “We’re here to grow, to serve, and to become part of the fabric of this region’s business and legal community.
