Arnold & Porter, one of the "Big Three" Washington, D.C., firms, has built its stellar reputation advising on antitrust matters, as well as M&A, intellectual property and bankruptcy.
A&P is also known as a firm with a heart - it's got a top pro bono practice and has made the "Best Company to Work For" lists in numerous publications. A&P has 700 attorneys in seven offices worldwide.
Many associates praise Arnold & Porter as the "most laid-back, non-confrontational firm" in D.C. "Very liberal and very accepting," it is a firm where "people feel free to be themselves," making it "a very comfortable place to practice law."

Additionally, at A&P "there is a notable lack of cruelty" with regard to how partners relate to their underlings. "Partners treat associates like people, are friendly, but professional," describes another insider.
A&P's cozy work environment has been widely noted. The firm frequently makes appearances on Working Mother's "100 Best Companies" in recognition of the firm's flexible scheduling, child-care options and parental time off.
