Goodwin Procter

Goodwin Procter is a global law firm founded in 1912, with more than 1,800 lawyers across 17 offices worldwide. It advises clients on high-stakes litigation and dispute resolution, complex transactions and regulatory compliance and advisory services. The firm's transactional work is concentrated in private equity and venture capital, and it maintains practices in life sciences, technology, real estate, healthcare, financial services and emerging companies. Goodwin holds consistent top rankings in the Vault Law 100, particularly for emerging companies and venture capital work.

The firm describes itself as a "firm of insiders" - lawyers with deep industry knowledge and firsthand experience in the sectors they serve. Its practice is supported by an integrated Global Operations Team that provides strategic business advisory services alongside traditional legal work, including knowledge management, pricing innovation, program management, client feedback programs and guidance on generative AI. The team was recognized with The American Lawyer's Best Business Team award.

Goodwin's internal culture is organised around "The Goodwin Way", eight core behaviours: excellence; relationships built on respect and trust; winning as a team; continuous improvement; results-orientation; operating with an owner's mindset; inclusivity; and not taking themselves too seriously. The firm characterises its working environment as a high-performance culture built on a differentiated service model.
