Turning Crisis into Strategy: Contracts, projects and disputes at a global chokepoint
Washington, D.C. is not just the political and administrative hub of the United States; it is also a thriving business city. Since 1904, our lawyers in the nation's capital have been instrumental in assisting clients in conquering their most toughest commercial, regulatory, and legal obstacles. We also have industry-focussed teams operating out of our Northern Virginia office.
Ours is the largest office in the United States, with over 500 lawyers representing all of our legal practice groups. We operate at the intersection of business and regulation, with a deep understanding of how geopolitics, political risks, and regulatory issues affect industry. The Washington, D.C. office is also home to the firm’s largest practice groups—Corporate & Finance, Global Regulatory, and Litigation—as well as to our pro bono practice, which in 2020 celebrated 50 years of bringing legal representation to the people and communities that need it most.
We represent clients from almost every business sector at every stage of the business lifecycle, from small start-ups to long-established commercial giants with the biggest global footprints. We coordinate with our global network of lawyers to obtain the representation you need. So no matter your business, your size, or your stage—whether you need representation at trial, within federal agencies, at the negotiating table, or with key figures in government—our team of lawyers in Washington can help.

Our culture
We consistently challenge ourselves
We consistently challenge ourselves to focus our time, skills, and resources to create a world-leading pro bono practice. Our commitment to pro bono and responsible business is a strategic priority for the firm, and the DC office dedicates significant lawyer hours each year in pursuit of a lasting impact for those most in need of our help.
We partner with Arcadia Center
We partner with Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food & Agriculture, located in Alexandria, Virginia, where we volunteer with hands on projects and organize regular fundraisers in support of their efforts. In addition, we host an annual meal packing event to benefit the Capital Area Food Bank and generally pack over 30,000 meals for those in need. We also partner with Alzheimer’s Association, Calvary Meal Service, DC Scores, and Lawyers Have a Heart, to name a few.
We are high-performing, collaborative, and supportive.
Our culture is intentionally different – we are high-performing, collaborative, and supportive. While we hold ourselves to high standards of client service, what sets us apart is a shared commitment to mentorship, teamwork, and investing in one another’s success.
