15 most innovative law firms in the United States.
The FT quoted firm chair Brad Karp about the state of the legal
marketplace. Brad stated "We had another record-breaking year but
we understand that we cannot be complacent in this market. The
stakes are higher, the problems more intractable but the
opportunities are more transformative."
Litigation partner Kenneth Gallo was selected as one of
the "top 10 agents for change." The report highlighted his
accomplishments as managing partner of the firm's Washington, D.C.
office and his representation of clients in antitrust and patent
matters.

range of the firm's practice areas, as innovative:
