Duane Morris LLP
Duane Morris LLP, a law firm with more than 900 attorneys in offices across the United States and internationally, is asked by a broad array of clients to provide innovative solutions to today's legal and business challenges.
Evolving from a partnership of prominent lawyers in Philadelphia more than a century ago, Duane Morris' modern organization stretches from the U.S. to Europe and across Asia. Throughout this global expansion, Duane Morris has remained committed to preserving its collegial, collaborative culture that has attracted many talented attorneys. The firm's leadership, and outside observers like Harvard Business School, believe this culture is truly unique among large law firms and helps explain why the firm continues to prosper through changing economic and industry conditions.
Duane Morris' Boston office offers a diversified practice serving New England’s broad economy, from long-established businesses to newly emerging industries. With the resources of a national law firm, our Boston lawyers represent major international corporations, regional middle market companies and individuals. The Boston office has become a go-to for high-stakes complex litigation, including high-profile patent, copyright, trade secret, gaming and healthcare disputes. By combining our lawyers’ subject matter knowledge with strong trial skills, we have successfully represented plaintiffs and defendants in cases where the ability to simplify complex issues for triers of fact is essential.
“Duane Morris is committed to supporting the professional and personal development for our women attorneys, recognizing the importance of helping them throughout their careers and giving our attorneys, at all levels of their careers, opportunity for advancement and growth. As a returning WBA member, we continue to renew our membership as the mission of WBA aligns with the values of Duane Morris. The WBA has created such an important environment—through networking, leadership opportunities, committees and more—for women lawyers in Massachusetts to collaborate, build upon their growing networks and make a difference in the legal profession.” – Mike Gottfried, Managing Partner of the Duane Morris Boston office.
Duane Morris is committed to being a law firm that includes people with various backgrounds, skills, perspectives and experiences, and fully uses their talents to provide legal services of the highest quality. Capitalizing on the strength emanating from our differences and drawing on the talents of all of the firm's personnel helps create an optimum, creative and inclusive workplace that helps the firm deliver outstanding results to our clients and retain talent. Duane Morris recognizes the beneficial impact of a welcoming and inclusive culture on firm morale, productivity, strategies and service for our clients.
The Duane Morris Women's Impact Network for Success (WINS) supports the success of women in the legal profession. Through various programs open to all of our colleagues, we exchange ideas, foster and expand business contacts and opportunities, and enhance attorney development to fully realize the talent, knowledge and potential of all our attorneys. WINS also hosts an annual summit, a firmwide program for all attorneys that features key discussions with industry leaders as well as networking opportunities. Additional programs include personal business development coaching for junior level partners and our leadership and business development program, Springboard to Success, geared toward Duane Morris’ future leaders.
Additionally, our Pro Bono Program provides free legal services to individuals, families, social justice entrepreneurs, nonprofit organizations and community-based legal and social service providers. Together, these initiatives reflect our ongoing dedication to fostering a more inclusive legal profession and broader community.
