Arnold & Porter LLP Perspective
Arnold & Porter LLP HIGHLIGHTS
Spanning more than 65 years of practice in Washington, DC and having eight other offices in the US and Europe, Arnold & Porter LLP has earned broad respect across a wide range of industries and sectors as a preeminent international law firm. Our global reach and experience allow us to work across geographic, cultural, technological, and ideological borders, serving clients whose business needs require US, EU, or cross-border regulatory, litigation, and transactional services. Our recent combination with prestigious San Francisco firm Howard Rice doubled our California presence. And our award-winning pro bono tradition stretches back to the McCarthy era, when firm co-founders Abe Fortas and Thurman Arnold defeated a laundry list of erroneous "Communist espionage" charges against Owen Lattimore. Today, the cases are different, but the principled commitment is the same.
