About Davis Wright Tremaine
Davis Wright Tremaine builds much of its practice around the industries its clients operate in. Its published areas of focus include media and entertainment, technology, food and beverage, healthcare, financial services, advertising and energy. This industry orientation is useful context for understanding why a matter may involve several legal specialties within the firm.

Media and technology businesses, for example, face questions involving commercial arrangements, regulation, content and changing business models. Financial-services work also connects business activity with compliance and disputes. DWT's materials describe its role as providing practical advice informed by those industry conditions, rather than legal analysis detached from a client's operations.
The firm publishes industry updates and hosts seminars and discussions on legal and business developments. These resources illustrate the kinds of changes its lawyers follow in their practices. Its distinguishing feature is the concentration on particular sectors and their evolving needs; students can use the relevant industry pages to understand the work of an individual team more precisely than a firmwide label alone would allow.
