In more than 60 years of practice, the firm has gained a national and international reputation for vigorous representation of clients before governmental agencies, successful advocacy in litigation and arbitration, and creative and practical advice in guiding business transactions. The firm has offices in Washington, New York, Chicago, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Century City, London, and Brussels.   

Attorneys
Steptoe attorneys are particularly known for having the breadth of experience and insight needed to handle complex disputes and resolve difficult regulatory and business problems. Attorneys in practices ranging from tax, government contracts, international trade, and intellectual property, to antitrust, insurance, transportation, telecommunications, and employment law, know the business and regulatory landscapes exceedingly well and benefit from deep benches of practice-specific trial and appellate lawyers. Such in-depth understanding is an essential factor in developing the creative strategies and solutions critical to our clients' interests. An added advantage is the number of partners in the firm who have held high-ranking government positions.

Value
The firm has a strong and long-standing commitment to bringing cost-effective solutions to client matters, from the routine to the most complex. In novel and sophisticated matters, we analyze the costs and benefits of potential strategies and work to recommend the solution that promises the greatest value to the client. In all matters, we understand the importance of working in partnership with in-house counsel.

Community Relations
Steptoe attorneys have a long and distinguished tradition of service in government and on the boards of civic and charitable organizations. We also are deeply committed to pro bono service as a means of contributing to our community, and are routinely ranked as a national leader in providing such service.
