About Foley Hoag
Foley Hoag was founded in 1943 and advises public and private clients on transactions and disputes. Its practice has a substantial connection to innovation-driven and regulated industries, including life sciences, healthcare, technology, energy, renewable energy, and cannabis. The firm also handles international matters, giving its work both domestic and cross-border dimensions.

The firm's description of its lawyers emphasizes subject-matter knowledge, including advanced academic degrees and research backgrounds. That can be relevant where a legal question depends on understanding a scientific product, a developing technology, or the regulatory framework surrounding an industry. Its transactional and disputes capabilities address different stages of those clients' activities.
For students, Foley Hoag offers a way to explore the relationship between industry specialization and legal discipline. An interest in energy or life sciences can lead toward business transactions, regulation, or litigation rather than a single fixed practice. The firm's industry and service materials provide a useful starting point for identifying those distinctions.
