We strive, in every matter we handle, to engage the issue from all angles. To bring fresh thinking to common legal matters 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.
When Arent Fox adopted the motto “Smart in your world,” it was not a boast. It was a promise and commitment; a reaffirmation to our clients of our long-standing pledge to provide the highest level of service, at a fair price, delivered with innovation, integrity, imagination, insight, and efficiency in accordance with the highest ethical standards of the legal profession.
Since its founding in 1942, Arent Fox has fulfilled this pledge by striving to understand and anticipate on a daily basis our clients’ needs and the challenges they face. Arent Fox understands that we live in a constantly changing world where businesses and individuals are confronted with a dizzying array of problems, questions, regulations and, on occasion, crises that require fresh thinking and innovative action from a dynamic group of attorneys. We appreciate the need to understand the world in which our clients live and do business. We understand the need to surround a problem, covering all possible complications and contingencies, and devising creative, effective solutions.
In compiling this booklet, we hope to illustrate that “Smart in your world” is more than a slogan for the more than 350 attorneys and professionals at Arent Fox. We hope the events described inside provide some illustration of our firm's dedication to our clients and our assurance that we will commit all necessary time, skill, and resources to serve the best interests of our clients.
