Nossaman LLP is a law firm with attorneys and policy advisors located in seven offices throughout the United States. The firm focuses on distinct areas of law and policy, as well as in specific industries, ranging from transportation, healthcare, and energy to real estate development, water, and government. Clients of the firm include multinational corporations, public agencies, private businesses, trade associations, nonprofits, and individuals. E. George Joseph serves as Nossaman's managing partner.[1]
The firm was founded in 1942 in Los Angeles by Walter L. Nossaman. As a result of several mergers and acquisitions, the firm's name has morphed throughout the years. In 2008, Nossaman merged with the Washington, D.C. law firm O'Connor & Hannan and shortened its name from Nossaman Guthner Knox & Elliott.[2]
Chambers and Partners continually recognizes Nossaman's Eminent Domain, Environment & Land Use, Healthcare, and Infrastructure Practice Groups in its guide to top law firms in the U.S.[3] Nossaman has also been named to Law360's list of the "100 Best Law Firms for Minority Attorneys" five times[4] and ranked in the top quarter of law firms on the National Law Journal’s “500 Women’s Scorecard” in 2019 and 2020.[5] Nossaman has also been recognized for the past two years as one of the “Best Midsize Law Firms For Diversity” [6] and was named as one of the "Best Midsize Law Firms For Pro Bono" in 2020[7] by Vault. Vault also included Nossaman on their "Top 150 Under 150,"[8] a list which recognizes outstanding small and midsize law firms "that deliver big results."
Nossaman’s Litigation Department was recognized by BTI Consulting as one of the "Most Feared Litigation Firms” in its 2019 Litigation Outlook report.[9] According to BTI, Nossaman was one of 37 law firms that general counsel view as highly competent litigators, and that they least wish to see on the other side of the table. Law360 named Nossaman's Infrastructure Practice Group a "Transportation Practice Group of the Year" five times[10] and a "Project Finance Practice Group of the Year" three times.[11] Nossaman's Environment and Land Use Practice Group has also been recognized twice by Law360 as an “Environmental Practice Group of the Year.”[12]
