Duane Morris

Overview

Duane Morris LLP, among the 100 largest law firms in the United States, is a full-service firm of approximately 550 lawyers. In addition, Duane Morris affiliates have approximately 40 professionals engaged in a number of nonlegal service businesses. The firm represents clients across the nation and around the world through a combination of 22 offices and relationships with two international networks of independent law firms.

Evolving from a partnership of prominent lawyers in Philadelphia a century ago, Duane Morris now has offices in many major markets and, according to The National Law Journal, is one of the fastest growing law firms in the United States. The firm has doubled in size in the past five years, and continues to expand across the country and overseas through non-merger growth.

Moreover, since the deployment of the AppResponse Xpert appliance is quite easy, requiring only a passive connection to a spanning port or tap at a data aggregation point such as a switch, it can deliver useful information almost immediately.
