What is the Who's Who Legal 70?
With a prestigious reputation that traces its roots back to the New Deal, Arnold & Porter LLP has an established history of premier client-service.
Internally, the firm is highly praised for the way it treats its lawyers too, featuring for the ninth year in Fortune magazine’s list of the “100 Best Companies to Work For”. A first-class expertise runs right through the firm and this is reflected in the international commendation it receives in our global research. This edition sees 40 partner listings in 13 practice areas, each praised for their legal acumen and commercial savvy.
The firm’s largest contingent in this book by far hails from our competition chapter where an impressive 12–strong team features. Washington DC-based William Baer is “one of the best in the field”, as summarised by one leading source, “I have no hesitation whatsoever referring a client to him. He’s an exceptional lawyer – technically brilliant, great to deal with and tremendously experienced.” Four further names are included from the Washington office, including the “outstanding” Robert Pitofsky and “top-tier practitioner” Deborah Feinstein. Across the Atlantic, Arnold & Porter houses further talent in Brussels and London. Head of the firm’s EU competition practice Marleen Van Kerckhove is widely praised for her regulatory know-how and, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector. Luc Gyselen is a “first-class lawyer” with an “exceptional industry insight” having held senior positions at the EU Directorate-General for Competition and led several formative antitrust cases on behalf of the authority. Annette Luise Schild is another “stand-out choice” at the firm.
The firm also features prominently in our life sciences chapter with six inclusions. In London, the “peerless” Ian Dodds-Smith, who also features in our product liability chapter, is a “name that needs no introduction” and appears in our breakdown of the most highly regarded individuals each year. David Perkins is a “go-to guy for complex, multi-jurisdictional IP litigation” and also scores highly in our trademarks and patent research. Lincoln Tsang is a “very accomplished” practitioner. Pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech product liability specialist Ellen Reisman is selected from the firm’s office in California and is praised by clients as “great to have fighting your corner”.
Five partners feature in our environment chapter. Chairman of the firm Thomas Milch is “top-notch” and joined on the list by senior counsel to the firm and director of the Centre for Climate Change Law at Columbia Law School, the “terrific” Michael Gerrard.
International head of arbitration, Paolo Di Rosa is “excellent”, has extensive experience in Latin America and is listed in our commercial arbitration findings with “leading specialist” Jean Engelmayer Kalicki.
With listings in six further chapters, Arnold & Porter excels in our research again this year.
