Departments

At Latham & Watkins, we take a multi-disciplinary approach to handling complex transactions, litigation and regulatory matters, and in advising clients on a wide array of legal issues. Our teams work collaboratively across a network of 27 offices and the firm's five departments:

These departments, through a dedicated network of local department chairs, allow us to respond quickly and efficiently to the needs of our clients. The departments are responsible for assembling attorney teams with the best combination of expertise, supervising practice groups and keeping attorneys around the world informed about the latest developments in their respective disciplines. The departments also play a critical role in guiding the professional development of our attorneys, in communicating with clients about relevant issues through newsletters and seminars, and in maintaining Latham's widely recognized culture of teamwork.
