Perkins Coie:

 

"• Marc E. Elias, chair of Perkins Coie’s political law practice, found himself in the spotlight after it was reported that he hired the research firm that compiled a controversial, but unverified, dossier detailing explosive allegations about President Donald Trump’s connections to Russia and those between his campaign and Russian representatives. Elias graduated from Duke Law School and has a master’s in political science from the university. He was general counsel to both Hillary Clinton’s and John Kerry’s presidential campaigns and his clients have included tech giants Facebook and Google."

"The 920-lawyer firm itself was in the news earlier this year after it investigated allegations of a culture of harassment at Uber. Its investigation resulted in 20 firings and led, in June, to the resignation of the ride-hailing service’s controversial founder, Travis Kalanick.

 

Elias, as a federal election law expert, appears more frequently in the limelight, particularly in stories about political law and voter protection issues. He has been active in litigating voting and campaign finance cases around the country and in voting rights and/or redistricting litigation in states like Florida and Texas as well as others.

 

Two notable clients are tech giants Facebook and Google who oppose congressional efforts to impose regulations on political advertisements that appear on their sites."

Blockchain Makes New Waves as Law Firms Build Expertise

 

Dax Hansen founded Perkins Coie’s blockchain practice group long before the digital transaction and record-keeping platform was heralded as a game-changer.

 

That was in 2013. Today, blockchain is best known as the network that enables buying and selling of bitcoin. But it’s also beginning to enter the tech and business mainstream, with leading companies investing in its potential and Big Law also starting to take a stake of its own.
