Arnold & Porter LLP lawyers are often distinguished by having a deep and rich history of prior government service. Many of our lawyers have come to the firm after holding significant positions in government agencies and nonprofit organizations throughout the country.
Lawyers at our firm – young and old – are encouraged to follow in the footsteps of the firm’s founders and craft their careers around both private practice and public service. More than 50 attorneys currently working at the firm have served in the ranks of the government on both the state and national levels. Our lawyers bring those experiences to each day of work with our clients. And they take their experiences at the firm into the public sector to serve the greater community in a variety of capacities.
