About us
From our offices in Beijing, Boston, Brussels, Dubai, Frankfurt, Johannesburg, London, Los Angeles, New York, Palo Alto, San Francisco, Seoul, Shanghai, and Washington, we practice as one firm, holding closely to core values that start with a deep commitment to our clients and the quality of our work on their behalf, and that include an emphasis on teamwork among our lawyers and other professionals and a belief in the obligation of lawyers to make legal services available to all who need them. Our lawyers are recognized nationally and internationally for their legal skills and the depth of their expertise. Many have served in senior government positions. Virtually all of them provide public service through pro bono representation. We are cultivating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive firm that harnesses the abilities of every colleague and the power of diverse perspectives to help clients navigate their most complex business challenges. And because every client is a client of the firm, not of any specific lawyer, every client has the ability to call on any of our lawyers as needed.
