Our commitment is to set the standard for delivering the best legal services to our clients.

Please note that while we appreciate your interest in our firm, if your inquiry pertains to a legal matter and you are not a current client, we kindly ask that you refrain from sending any confidential information. Before we can agree to represent you, we must first determine our ability to assist and reach an agreement on the terms and conditions of engagement. Until such steps are completed, no lawyer-client relationship will be established, and we will not have a duty to keep any information confidential.

Thank you for considering Latham & Watkins LLP for your legal needs. We look forward to the possibility of working with you.
