Drawing from a deep bench, Arnold & Porter demonstrates a breadth of experience across sectors including defense and security, education, energy, financial services, healthcare, and tax. Growing expertise in international trade has been highly valued by major Korean companies, who have engaged the team in representing their first forays into the US government lobbying space. Eugenia Pierson heads up the DC-based practice group and is an expert on public health policy issues. Kevin O’Neill‘s practice cuts across trade, tech, appropriations, life sciences, and healthcare sectors, while former general counsel of the Managed Funds Association Mark Epley is most at home in the financial services policy space and has also helped Endeavors defuse a number of investigations related to border security. David Skillman has developed strengths in trade, tax, environment, and energy, with successes in infrastructure and electric vehicles policy in the Biden administration. Janice Bashford, who co-chairs the financial services and government oversight subgroup, was promoted to partner in January 2023. Tech, trade, and appropriations expert Marne Marotta, and healthcare and life sciences aficionado Bobby McMillin are also key names.
