The firm was formed in May 2004 through the merger of two leading law firms, Hale and Dorr LLP and Wilmer Cutler and Pickering LLP.

Many of our lawyers have played, and continue to play, prominent roles in public service activities of national and international importance—from counseling US presidents to opposing racial discrimination and fighting apartheid.
