Our history
Twenty years of arguing for people who were not being heard.
The firm has grown, the rooms have got bigger, and the reason we opened has not moved an inch.
Work with usMilestones
Two desks, then two decades.
2006
The practice opens
Two advocates, one rented room on Independence Avenue and a first client who could not find anyone else to take the case.
2011
The first policy win
A five-year campaign ends with an amendment that widened access to care for close to a million people.
2016
The crisis desk
After a client's worst week made national news, we built the practice we wish they had been able to call on day one.
2021
Across borders
London and New York open, and the firm starts running cross-jurisdiction campaigns from a single strategy.
2026
Thirty countries
Coalitions, institutions and businesses in thirty countries — represented to the same standard as that first client.
The record
What twenty years adds up to.
Numbers are a poor summary of advocacy, but they are an honest one. These are the ones we are asked about most.
