Latham’s Washington, D.C. office offers clients powerhouse corporate capabilities, regulatory insights, as well as litigation and trial strength.
We have built a remarkable track record of navigating the federal government — in the courts, the White House and Executive Branch agencies, as well as Congress. As a group, we draw on experience serving in a wide variety of senior roles within the federal government, so we can advise clients based on deep knowledge of the inner workings of government.
We regularly represent clients facing criminal, civil, and congressional investigations, litigation in all US courts, and the full range of commercial disputes. Our courtroom victories regularly earn Latham recognition from National Law Journal as among the very best litigators and trial lawyers in Washington.
Unique among firms in the capital, we combine classic litigation and regulatory practices with our premier transactional practices, which include the largest and most successful corporate/M&A, capital markets, private equity, and leveraged finance practices in Washington.
