Washington, DC
Named 2025 Law Firm of the Year and Litigation Department of the Year by The American Lawyer, Williams & Connolly is an elite litigation boutique and one of the most selective firms in the country. C., Williams & Connolly operates from a single office with approximately 300 attorneys.
Williams & Connolly is widely considered one of the finest trial and litigation firms in the United States, with particular dominance in white-collar criminal defense, government investigations, and high-stakes commercial disputes. The firm has been ranked the top firm in the country for white-collar defense and internal investigations. More than 45 Supreme Court clerks have joined the firm over the past decade, reflecting its exceptional reputation for legal talent.
The firm's single-office model and relatively small size create an unusually close-knit and collegial environment. Associates work directly with senior partners from the outset and gain courtroom experience far earlier than at most firms. Williams & Connolly's selectivity and litigation focus attract lawyers who are drawn to the craft of trial advocacy.
