New Jersey
Latham & Watkins' New Jersey office features top-tier litigation and environmental practices. Opened in 1994, the New Jersey office has become an integral part of the firm's increasing presence in the Northeast and the firm's expanded worldwide litigation capabilities. The office routinely taps the resources available in the firm's 29 other offices around the globe in order to access the firm's international capabilities.
Practice Areas
The New Jersey office’s preeminent litigation practice is primarily based in the areas of complex business litigation and arbitration, securities, environmental law, product liability and toxic tort defense, real estate litigation, professional liability, employment, and white collar and government enforcement. We are particularly skilled in handling high-stakes and multiparty lawsuits in state and federal courts around the United States. The New Jersey office serves clients in various industries including banking, environmental, professional services, health care, auto, accounting, manufacturing, technology, leisure services, real estate, and biotechnology and life sciences, and communications.
Community Ties
The New Jersey office has a strong commitment to public service. Our attorneys, paralegals and staff have formed relationships with a number of charitable and trade organizations in the area, and the office handles numerous pro bono legal matters every year. One of our most rewarding summer events includes working with Habitat for Humanity in Newark. It is an opportunity to give back to the community in a meaningful way.
