How to define a law firm? There are the usual factors: number of lawyers, revenues, practice areas, history, ethics, reputation. Arent Fox can certainly be measured by the sum of these parts. But to us, the character of the firm is best expressed by its people. The practice of law is based on knowledge, precedent and creativity, and we like to consider ourselves the most imaginative lawyers around. Clients can recognize it right away. We strive, in every matter we handle, to engage the issue from all angles. To bring fresh thinking to common legal problems and uncommon invention to the most complicated problems. But how do you measure that? These stories reveal the qualities in our people that we think set Arent Fox apart: intelligence, resourcefulness and ingenuity. The act of compiling them was a minor revelation. We came to know ourselves better. And we hope that you will too.
