The firm opened the Washington, D.C. office in 1979 to meet client needs in the nation's capital. Lawyers in the Washington, D.C. office work closely with our network of Perkins Coie lawyers to remain on the forefront of issues and policies. While there are many similarities between our Washington, D.C. practice and activities in the firm's other offices, our Washington, D.C. practice is specifically oriented to the issues and disputes which arise as a result of federal law, regulation and policy.
An understanding of the role and the impact of the federal government on today's business and society, and on the political process is central to the nationwide delivery of legal services by Perkins Coie.
