In an era of global megafirms, Williams & Connolly LLP is a unique institution.  Although the firm handles cases all over the world, the firm’s approximately 275 partners and associates are all based in a single office in Washington, D.C.  With one exception, all of the firm’s partners over the last 25 years have been trained at the firm and promoted from within.  As a result, Williams & Connolly has a collaborative and collegial culture unlike that of any other law firm.
