History
Nixon Peabody was formed by the 1999 merger
of two firms that began practicing more than a century ago: Nixon,
Hargrave, Devans & Doyle LLP and Peabody & Brown. Nixon
Hargrave was originally a Rochester, NY, firm that had grown
to become one of the largest law firms in New York. It had a
strong corporate/institutional practice and a nationally recognized
public finance practice. Boston-based Peabody & Brown had
a nationally recognized syndication practice and was active in
middle and high-growth markets. Both firms wanted to expand their
geographic reach and broaden and deepen their practice strengths
so they could offer a diverse array of high-quality legal services
to regional, national, and international clients.
In 2000, Nixon Peabody merged with Sixbey
Friedman Leedom & Ferguson in Northern Virginia, doubling
the size of its intellectual property practice. The firm expanded
into California in 2001 through a merger with Lillick & Charles,
a firm with seventy attorneys and practice strengths in business,
finance, real estate, commercial litigation, insurance coverage
litigation, aircraft defense litigation, and international commerce.
Most recently, Nixon Peabody united with
the century-old Boston firm of Hutchins, Wheeler & Dittmar,
adding 50 attorneys with exceptional skills and experience in
business, litigation, and health services.
