About ArentFox Schiff
ArentFox Schiff organizes its public identity around understanding a client's business and industry as well as the relevant law. The firm advises across a range of industries and describes its lawyers and policy professionals as working together on business strategy, immediate legal problems and longer-term commercial objectives.

Its work therefore extends beyond a single transaction or court proceeding.
Government service is a recurring element of the firm's own account of its background. ArentFox Schiff describes public-service experience as part of the knowledge it brings to clients, alongside private-sector legal work. That combination is especially relevant to businesses whose decisions are affected by regulation and public policy.
The firm also identifies pro bono, inclusion and innovation as parts of its institutional program. Its stated values emphasize practical advice, initiative and relationships with clients. These are the firm's descriptions of its approach, rather than independent guarantees about associate workload or experience; the concrete distinction is the combination of industry-focused legal advice and policy expertise within the same practice.
