| Thanks to the fact that the firm is located in five of the most important U.S. legal markets as well as in London, Hong Kong and Tokyo, Ropes & Gray has one of the broadest ranges of practices. 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. |
