Nixon Peabody LLP

Nixon Peabody combines transactional and disputes work with advice on regulation and the industries in which its clients operate. Its services include intellectual property, securities, antitrust, benefits, tax, real estate, employment, and corporate governance. Environmental and export-compliance matters add further regulatory dimensions to the practice.

Public finance provides a concrete example of its work. In 2022, the firm served as bond counsel to Los Angeles on social bonds supporting housing and services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. That representation connected financing work with the development of housing, healthcare access, and community facilities.

The firm's broader materials emphasize collaboration with businesses, regulators, funders, and industry participants. For students, this offers several ways to approach the practice: a matter can involve a commercial transaction, a dispute, or the legal framework supporting a public project. The firm's service descriptions help clarify which legal disciplines contribute to each type of engagement.
