Why choose us

Your gateway to government

We were among the first firms to recognize that all three branches of government could serve as forums in which to achieve client goals. For more than a decade, we have been recognized as one of the top two US firms in lobbying revenues and have maintained the largest sovereign government practice. We serve as the registered lobbyist for around 150 governmental, corporate, trade association and nonprofit entities. Our work sees us practice before Congress, the White House, executive branch departments, courts and independent regulatory agencies.

Crossroads for diplomacy and business

The Washington DC team plays an integral role in our wider international practice. Our lawyers have represented more than 100 sovereign governments and entities, and are regularly involved in joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions and other forms of international business transactions. We bring you particular expertise in complex cross-border business transactions in sensitive sectors such as US aerospace and defense, energy and communications industries, as well as technology transfer and economic sanctions.
