Legal Times: What is keeping the Washington office busy these days?

Jeffrey Lesk: Some of the strongest practices in the office now are at the intersection of government and business — whether that is government and real estate or government and finance. This is a government town. The busiest practices are ones dealing with transactions and litigation that are affected by or involve the government in some way. We also do an awful lot of work with public-private partnerships — transactions that are using government support in other ways to have the private sector deliver the socially important product.
