Arnold & Porter

Description

Our Washington, DC, office is the firm’s largest and oldest. Founded in 1946, the office embodies the experience and values on which the firm built its reputation as a leading resource of regulatory experience and knowledge of the inner workings of the US government and its agencies. From that foundation, the Washington, DC, office expanded to include virtually every area of corporate law as well as a major litigation practice. Solving our clients' regulatory problems, both in the US and globally, is often the first hurdle in helping them reach their business goals.

On June 17, 2014, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) released two draft guidance documents for industry that offer "recommendations" regarding how pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers can use Internet and social media platforms to (1) correct independent third-party misinformation about prescription drugs and medical devices; and (2) present risk and benefit information where there are character space limitations (e.g., Twitter). FDA developed these draft guidance documents in part to respond to requests from various manufacturers and related stakeholders.

Arnold & Porter counsel Samuel Witten took office as President of the Washington Foreign Law Society on November 17, 2010.

Mr. Witten is a member of the firm's international arbitration and homeland and national security practice groups.

In recognition of Arnold & Porter’s outstanding pro bono program, The American Bar Association honored the firm with its 2004 Pro Bono Publico Award . The firm, along with four individual lawyers nationwide, was recognized by ABA President Dennis W. Archer during their annual meeting in Atlanta at the Georgia World Conference Center.
