Taft has named litigator Tracy Betz the next partner-in-charge of the law firm’s Indianapolis office, replacing Brad Schwer, who has served in that role for nearly 10 years.
The change is effective Jan. 1.
Taft, which was founded in Cincinnati, has grown to become the second largest law firm in Indianapolis with 175 attorneys, according to 2026 IBJ research. It trails only Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
Betz has worked in the Indianapolis office for more than 20 years. Her practice focuses on commercial litigation involving contract disputes, intellectual property and trade secrets among other areas.
Betz also serves as a member of Taft’s executive committee and as co-chair of its gender advancement committee, which she founded.
Her experience includes obtaining a multimillion-dollar verdict in a jury trial over a trademark infringement case in the Northern District of Indiana, according to the firm’s website.
She also obtained another multimillion-dollar verdict for a contractor in a jury trial over a construction and contract dispute in Georgia state court.
Betz is a 2004 graduate of Indiana University’s Maurer School of Law.
Taft said Monday in a press release that revenue from its Indianapolis office more than tripled under Schwer and its attorney headcount grew by 75%. The firm also has expanded its footprint and now occupies nine floors and about 133,000 square feet at One Indiana Square in downtown Indianapolis.
Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP has 25 offices nationally, more than 1,300 lawyers and annual revenue topping $1.1 billion, according to the release.
