Our Washington DC corporate and securities team reviews the most recent proxy statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the approximately 100 largest public companies in the DC area by annual revenue, and assesses high-level trends regarding the local public company market, as well as how the DC market aligns and contrasts with the trends and data of public companies nationally.

In each annual report, we analyze local public company metrics against the Fortune 500, S&P 500, Russell 3000 and other national surveys as available. These reports provide helpful benchmarking data regarding how the DC area public company market, while robust in numbers, differs at least in some respects from governance and disclosure perspectives compared to other markets, including from the national public company statistics.
