Our approach to solving a client's problems or helping to develop a client's opportunities is comprehensive, and often multi-disciplinary.

• We start with the basics: we emphasize rigorous legal and factual analysis, and creative synthesis to effectively and efficiently serve the client's interests.
  
  
• When required, our attorneys bring to bear an in-depth knowledge of a number of industries and governmental functions. Our private sector clients, for example, have included leading companies in banking, biotechnology, health care, chemicals, computers, energy (including nuclear energy), insurance, pharmaceuticals, securities, office equipment, oil and gas, real estate, venture capital, entertainment, accounting, steel, and transportation.
  
  
• We also bring the benefit of our attorneys' past experiences as in-house counsel to large publicly-traded corporations; as arbitrators and mediators; as holders of responsible positions in administrative agencies, such as the United States Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, the United States Department of Energy, the Solicitor General's Office, and in the United States Congress; and as law clerks in the United States Supreme Court and various federal Courts of Appeals and District Courts.
  
  
• We apply our depth of experience and understanding through close collaboration among our attorneys and by working as a team with in-house counsel. We also work with other law firms and with leading economists, scientists and other specialists wherever such collaboration will advance the interests of our clients.
  
  

Our overriding goal is to provide our clients with the highest quality of cost-effective care, thought, and results, while maintaining our collegial atmosphere and the strong collaborative relationships we have built with our clients and our colleagues at legal and other professional firms.
