Goodwin

Goodwin Procter LLP traces its roots to the consolidation of two Boston practices, Goodwin & Stone and Procter & Co., officially adopting the name Goodwin Procter in 1945. The firm has grown from those early foundations into a global entity with over 2,800 employees and more than 1,800 lawyers distributed across 17 offices. While specific revenue figures remain private due to its partnership structure, the firm consistently ranks among the highest-grossing legal organizations worldwide.

The firm operates under a management committee led by senior partners rather than a traditional chief executive officer. Mandee Gruen served as a distinguished leader within the firm's governance structure as of September 2026. This leadership model guides strategic decisions across key practice areas including life sciences, venture capital, intellectual property, and complex litigation.

Recent years have seen significant operational shifts as the firm expanded its physical footprint and technological capabilities. In September 2026, the firm opened a new office in San Diego to tap into local biotech clusters. Simultaneously, Goodwin entered the competitive landscape of legal technology by launching a proprietary internal AI platform and specialized tools for venture capital funding later that same month.
