Davis Wright Tremaine LLP was founded on a simple guiding principle: to provide clients with high-value legal services customized to their particular needs. This principle has remained intact for decades as the firm has continued to expand across the nation. Today, our team includes more than 600 attorneys across 11 offices, covering a wide variety of practice and industry areas. We strive to be the law firm of choice for entrepreneurial lawyers who are committed to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture that emphasizes teamwork and service to our communities.
DWT helps businesses operating at the intersection of traditional communications services and emerging platforms to navigate the regulatory landscape and launch new products, services, and networks.
Corporate & Business Transactions
The firm has a leading middle-market M&A practice and guides clients through transactions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, equity financings, and restructurings. We also advise on corporate governance and domestic/international tax issues.
When new legal issues confront our clients, we rally to master them. Our attorneys are experts and thought leaders on legal matters involving artificial intelligence, digital assets, renewables and sustainability, and cannabis.
DWT represents employers in all areas of the employee relationship, including labor-management relations; litigation, training, and counseling; benefits; and immigration. We stay current on emerging regulatory frameworks around automated decision-making tools in the workplace.
Our team provides transactional, regulatory, and litigation services for electric, natural gas, and renewable energy clients. Our attorneys are well positioned to serve clients in the Pacific Northwest, California, Alaska, and other regions that are driving change in the energy sector.
The firm has the depth and experience to help clients assess risks, maintain compliance, and manage project development, permitting, and government investigations. We specialize in all environmental and natural resource issues, including climate change regulations and sustainability.
DWT helps the largest and most innovative players navigate an industry undergoing dramatic transformation. We work with financial institutions, payment processors, leading technology companies, and fintechs. The firm hosts an integrated team of banking, technology, privacy, and corporate lawyers recognized as national leaders by Chambers FinTech.
Our attorneys combine deep expertise across legal specialties to work together on our clients' food, beverage, alcohol, agriculture, and hospitality projects.
The firm provides comprehensive regulatory and transactional services to leading providers. Members of the team are experienced in healthcare and knowledgeable in relevant areas of law, including compliance, technology, M&A, taxes, labor, antitrust, litigation, real estate, and finance.
DWT provides practical advice over the full range of patent, trademark, and copyright procurement, registration, licensing, and litigation, as well as marketing and trade secret strategies. We have extensive experience in the IP aspects of business transactions and represent marquee clients, as both claimants and defendants, in industries as varied as fashion, technology, food and beverage, consumer products, and architecture.
We handle high-stakes cases at all levels of state and federal court, including the U.S. Supreme Court. We are nationally known for our work with technology, healthcare, media, communications, and financial services clients, and our litigators defend businesses in every sector of the economy.
Our team is the counsel of choice for the nation's top media, entertainment, technology, news, and content-creation companies. The firm counsels on acquisition, production, pre-broadcast/publication review, privacy, advertising, intellectual property, free speech, and other issues for both emerging and legacy media clients. We have successfully represented our clients in numerous high-profile litigation involving cutting-edge legal issues before the U.S. Supreme Court.
The firm has decades of experience handling complex real estate transactions nationwide in a wide variety of industries. The team includes strong land use, environmental, construction, finance, tax, bankruptcy/workout, and litigation attorneys to provide clients a one-stop solution.
Technology, Privacy & Security
DWT has been a pioneer in the dynamic area of privacy and security law, serving highly regulated industries such as communications, healthcare, and financial services for decades. We help navigate the ever-changing terrain of technology law and compliance at the state, federal, and global levels. We advise on AI technologies and systems. Should a problem arise, DWT's Incident Response Team guides clients through investigation, enforcement, litigation, mitigation, and recovery.
At DWT, we solve legal questions in ways that work for our clients' particular business needs, corporate culture, and organizational imperatives. We built our own staffing agency to offer the flexibility and cost savings of contract professionals while maintaining control over quality and client integration.
Our vision is to foster a culture where all talented individuals—including those who are traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession—can see a path to success. Two-thirds of DWT's executive committee is diverse (including women, minority, and LGBTQ members), as are half of the partners-in-charge.
We are proud that we can be the voice for the unheard, the champion for the unseen, and the access point to the justice system for the most vulnerable and marginalized. DWT devoted more than 30,000 hours to pro bono work in 2022.
