Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP is more than 1,000 lawyers strong, with offices in 11 cities in the United States, Europe and China. The firm's practice includes 350 litigators with unmatched trial, appellate and Supreme Court experience; a regulatory practice that includes over 100 lawyers who have held high-level government positions; an intellectual property practice enriched by the expertise of nearly 100 attorneys and patent agents who hold scientific or technical degrees; more than 200 seasoned corporate transactional lawyers and business counselors; and hundreds of other lawyers who focus on bankruptcy, environmental, labor and employment, private client, real estate and tax matters. The firm was formed in May 2004 through the merger of two leading law firms, Hale and Dorr LLP and Wilmer Cutler and Pickering LLP. Our unified culture embraces the staunch commitment to public service and the causes of justice and fairness for which both predecessor firms were justly famous. 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 racial discrimination and fighting apartheid. 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.
