HWG

HWG LLP is a boutique law firm founded in 1998 that handles serious legal problems in communications, technology and related regulatory matters. Its practice spans communications law and information technology law, alongside commercial and civil litigation in federal and state courts, government investigations, white collar criminal defense and appellate work. The firm is nationally recognized in communications and information technology law and holds top rankings in Chambers USA.

The firm's appellate practice is notable for the scale of its work: its attorneys have argued dozens of cases before the Supreme Court, and the firm handles major appeals as well as Supreme Court arguments. Beyond the courts, HWG represents leading-edge communications and technology clients on the regulatory questions that accompany their businesses, and represents both companies and individuals in government investigations and criminal proceedings.

HWG was founded with a deliberate focus on clients rather than profits, and its founders set out to run the firm differently from larger competitors. The firm has built its reputation quietly rather than through self-promotion, with an emphasis on seasoned judgment and experience. It has been recognised by the Washington Post as a Top Workplace for ten consecutive years.

As a boutique, HWG operates with a small team - it began with a handful of lawyers - and concentrates on high-stakes matters rather than volume. The firm works across the United States, appearing before federal and state courts, and serves clients in the communications, technology and information technology sectors.
