Its offices across Los Angeles, Washington, DC and New York play vital coordinating roles in multi-jurisdictional proceedings, supported by strategically located teams in Europe, Asia and Latin America.

The firm also demonstrates considerable prowess in transactional projects, with a burgeoning cross-border M&A practice emanating from its East and West Coast bases. The US team frequently represents clients, including large multinationals and private equity firms, in a range of international matters including M&A, carve-outs, joint ventures, hostile takeovers and shareholder activism. The firm's US lawyers are well integrated with its M&A practices in China, France, Germany and the UK, which assist US colleagues on the firm's largely US-led cross-border work, while the firm also frequently teams up with trusted partner firms overseas.
