About Willkie Farr & Gallagher
Willkie Farr & Gallagher began in New York in 1888 with four lawyers and has developed a US and European practice. Its current firm materials describe a coast-to-coast American presence alongside offices in major European business centers. The firm advises on business matters across markets and industries through that international network.
Its account of the practice emphasizes continuing client relationships, including clients it has represented for decades. That perspective places an individual transaction or dispute within a longer relationship with a business. The firm's service materials describe a broad set of practices supported by lawyers with local-market knowledge.
Willkie also identifies pro bono work, social justice, sustainability, and community service within its corporate citizenship activities. For students, its history and geographic structure provide context for more detailed practice research.
