Growth expansion BakerHostetler has pursued strategic headcount growth, notably adding over 120 attorneys since 2020 and expanding on the West Coast, signaling ongoing capacity for taking on larger, cross-border or complex matters for clients.

West Coast focus Recent hires and growth on the West Coast suggest opportunities to offer market-entry, regulatory, and cross-border services to regional and national clients seeking strong coastal presence and integrated federal and state compliance capabilities.

Litigation strength The firm’s robust litigation and white-collar practice, including securities enforcement and governance litigation, presents sales angles for financial services, tech, and corporate clients facing investigations, disputes, or regulatory scrutiny.

Digital and IP emphasis Core practice groups include Digital Assets and Data Management alongside Intellectual Property, creating openings to cross-sell data governance, cybersecurity, fintech, and IP protection services to clients navigating innovation and regulatory requirements.

Client onboarding momentum New client engagements such as Mainstreet Credit Union indicate ongoing efforts to expand in regulated financial services, offering a path to upsell bundled regulatory, privacy, and incident response services to financial institutions.
