HWG LLP is a Washington, DC-based boutique law firm that offers access to top-tier legal talent with a leaner overhead than larger firms. The firm comprises about fifty lawyers, a notable share of whom have served in government roles, including former U.S. Supreme Court clerks and former general counsels of federal agencies. Since its founding in 1998, HWG has focused on communications and technology, advising innovative companies and individuals on complex legal issues and representing clients before government agencies, in nuanced business transactions, and in disputes and litigation. The firm emphasizes a close-knit, diverse professional community and seeks to balance high-caliber work with life outside the office. In September 2022, a partner in the telecommunications practice joined the Department of Commerce as acting Chief Counsel of the NTIA, reflecting HWG’s ongoing involvement in government-facing and policy matters.
