Firm Profile
LEGAL EXCELLENCE. DEDICATION TO CLIENTS. COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC
SERVICE.
WilmerHale offers unparalleled legal representation across a comprehensive
range of practice areas that are critical to the success of our clients. We
practice at the very top of the legal profession and offer a cutting-edge blend
of capabilities that enables us to handle deals and cases of any size and
complexity. Today, businesses face greater scrutiny and more “bet the company”
issues than ever before. With a practice unsurpassed in depth and scope by any
other major firm, we have the ability to anticipate obstacles, seize
opportunities and get the case resolved or the deal done—and the experience and
know-how to prevent it from being undone.
We are 1,000 lawyers strong, with offices in 12 cities in the United States,
Europe and Asia. Our practice includes over 500 litigators with unmatched trial,
appellate and Supreme Court experience; a preeminent securities law practice
with over 200 lawyers; a regulatory practice that includes more than 100 lawyers
who have held high-level government positions; an intellectual property practice
enriched by the expertise of more than 160 attorneys and technology specialists
who hold scientific or technical degrees; more than 300 seasoned corporate
transactional lawyers and business counselors; and lawyers who focus on
bankruptcy, environmental, labor and employment, private client, real estate and
tax matters.
With a heritage that includes our involvement in the foundation of legal aid
work early in the 20th century, we have consistently distinguished ourselves as
leaders in pro bono representation. Many of our lawyers have played, and
continue to play, prominent roles in public service activities of national and
international importance—from counseling US presidents to opposing
discrimination and defending human rights around the world. Most importantly,
our firm stands for a steadfast commitment to quality and excellence in
everything we do—a commitment reflected in the continued success of our clients
across the globe.
