As the Biden administration attempts to plot a path for its infrastructure proposals, several law firms, such as Kirkland & Ellis, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld and Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer, among others, are reporting a sharp uptick in demand for related transactional work, litigation, regulatory, lobbying and policy and a host of other practices.

New business for firms started even before President Joe Biden’s inauguration. But as infrastructure policy and other regulations make their way through Congress and government agencies, the volume of work, they say, may only accelerate over the next few years—a potential business bonanza for Big Law for years to come, especially if lawmakers approve any legislation.
