Firm Overview
Williams & Connolly is widely regarded as the premier litigation firm in Washington, DC — a singular institution that has represented some of the most high-profile clients in the most significant cases in modern American legal history. The firm operates from a single DC office and takes only the cases it wants.
Associate Experience
Williams & Connolly associates are among the most coveted in the litigation world. The firm provides unparalleled exposure to significant litigation from the earliest class years. The culture is serious, the expectations are high, and the alumni network is exceptional.
Lateral Recruiting Context
W&C alumni carry extraordinary credibility in the litigation market. The firm's culture means it rarely recruits laterals at the associate level, but W&C alumni transitioning out of the firm have an exceptional range of options — both at peer firms and in-house.
