| Thanks to the fact that the firm is located in the four
five most important U.S. legal markets and in Hong Kong and Tokyo,
Ropes & Gray has one of the broadest range of practices in the
United States. Boston, Chicago, New York, the San Francisco Bay Area,
and Washington, D.C. are the capitals of American business and government;
homes to the nation's most prestigious academic and medical institutions;
pre-eminent breeding grounds for high-tech, biotech, and other start-up
ventures; and centers of the country's greatest concentrations of capital
under management. Because Ropes & Gray
is a leader in each of these areas, our practice touches nearly every
major field of law and presents the most challenging problems facing
businesses, non-profits, and public entities. This unique expertise
means that we are often retained to act in other geographies across
the country, and internationally as well, in these and other areas. |
