Wilkinson Barker Knauer LLP

Wilkinson Barker Knauer is not just another law firm. Founded over 50 years ago as a boutique specializing in communications law, WBK now provides advice and representation over a range of industries including energy, emerging technologies, media, and telecommunications.

By focusing on excellence and on building depth to meet clients’ needs, WBK has earned recognition by Best Lawyers® as the Law Firm of the Year in communications law six times – including twice in a row (2018 and 2019). Our client-oriented approach extends to our work in energy, intellectual property, privacy and security, consumer protection, business transactions and other related areas. The firm provides advice tailored to address clients’ legal, regulatory, and business strategies. With over 70 lawyers and professionals in its offices in Washington, DC, Austin, TX, and Denver, CO, we combine the services, capabilities, standards, and expertise of a large-firm practice with the value, flexibility, and client-oriented personal style that only a smaller firm can deliver.

WBK has long been committed to community and service, with attorneys and staff devoting substantial time and energy to pro bono work, volunteerism, civic and community leadership, charitable giving, mentoring, service on nonprofit boards, teaching, and more. These activities are actively encouraged and supported at WBK through our WBK Best, Women’s Initiative, and Wellness Committees.
