Barton Smith joined William and his son Rufus H. Baker in 1881 and the Firm became known as Baker, Smith and Baker. Smith, described as a man of spotless character who was unfailingly courteous toward opposing counsel, represented some of the most important Toledo business interests of the time, including Connecticut Mutual Insurance Company, The Milburn Wagon Company, Sun Oil Company and The Toledo Blade Company. He became President of The Blade in 1920. Eastman & Smith Ltd. now employs more than 150 people, including over 75 attorneys. Through the years, seven of its members have served as president of The Toledo Bar Association and two as president of The Ohio State Bar Association. Over the years, the Firm has seen many changes. Currently our team provides legal services to both individual and corporate clients in a variety of backgrounds, including publicly-held corporations; privately-held commercial, industrial, manufacturing and service businesses of all sizes; public employers; professional practices; hospitals and related health care institutions; financial institutions; construction companies; and insurance carriers. Just as in 1844, we are committed to serving our clients to the best of our abilities.
