Arnold & Porter Celebrates 20 Years in Los Angeles

Attorneys and alumni of Arnold & Porter LLP gathered April 7 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the firm’s Los Angeles office. At the after-hours gala at the Millennium Biltmore hotel, Arnold & Porter lawyers past and present praised the firm’s tight-knit culture, lauded its legal successes and reminisced about the office’s opening — and the attorneys’ transition to life in Los Angeles — in 1991. The event also drew current judges, prominent clients and management from across the country, who all joined in a Champagne toast to praise the office’s accomplishments over the past two decades and to wish the firm well going forward. The Los Angeles office was the Washington, D.C.-based firm’s first foray into California, where it now also has three offices in San Francisco and, since 2009, Silicon Valley.
