This is one of the nation's most prominent corporate powerhouse firms. The associates we know practice at some of the highest levels available--there is no question you will learn your craft here--and learn it well. Although there corporate section reigns supreme, we have been really impressed with the work the litigators are tackling--including white collar crime work that is fairly impressive and noteworthy.
