About Our Wilmington Office

Wilmington, Delaware, is an important strategic location for doing business in the United States. With its solid pro-business environment, proximity to highly respected courts, including the Court of Chancery, and one of the most advanced and flexible corporate statutes in the nation, the city is often referred to as "the corporate capital" of the U.S. It is estimated that more than half a million business entities have made their legal home in Delaware, including more than 50 percent of all U.S. publicly traded companies and 60 percent of the Fortune 500.

The firm's office in Wilmington includes 30 attorneys who focus their practice on corporate governance and Delaware law and litigation matters. The office is led by partners William B. Chandler III, Ryan Greecher, Amy Simmerman, and Brad Sorrels. Bill Chandler, who founded the Delaware office, is widely regarded as one of the world's most influential and well-respected jurists on corporate law and governance matters.

The Wilmington team works closely with the firm's attorneys nationwide to advise clients on a broad range of corporate law, governance, and litigation matters, with particular expertise in class action defense, securities litigation, special committees, and internal investigations.
