BOSTON, Apr. 27, 2007 - Goodwin Procter LLP announced that four of its partners were named as Washington, D.C. Super Lawyers. The survey honors the top five percent of lawyers in the Washington, D.C. metro area, as chosen by their peers and through the independent research of Law and Politics.

In 2004, Goodwin Procter greatly expanded its office in Washington, D.C. when it combined with Shea & Gardner, a firm with particular expertise in litigation. In 2006, the firm added a private equity group to the Washington, D.C. office. The growth in this office has resulted in continuous superior client service, the attraction of outstanding talent and expansion in major practice areas, including litigation, employment & labor, environmental, and FDA.
Law and Politics sent over 35,000 surveys to active attorneys across the Washington, D.C. metro area and asked them to vote for the best lawyers they had personally observed in action.
