HWG LLP is pleased to announce that the firm has once again received top recognition in the Chambers USA 2026 guide, reaffirming its standing as a leading practice in telecommunications law and its growing presence in white-collar defense. For the 15th consecutive year, HWG LLP earned a Band 1 ranking in Telecom, Broadcast & Satellite (District of Columbia), a distinction that places the firm among the most consistently recognized practices in the field.
In addition to its sustained leadership in telecommunications, HWG LLP also received, for the second time, a Band 2 ranking in Litigation: Specialist Firms – White-Collar Crime & Government Investigations (District of Columbia). This recognition reflects the firm's continued investment in building a robust white-collar practice capable of guiding clients through complex government investigations and high-stakes enforcement matters.
Chambers USA rankings are widely regarded as a leading benchmark for legal excellence in the United States. The guide bases its assessments on in-depth interviews with clients, peers, and market participants, evaluating factors such as technical expertise, client service, commercial awareness, and overall quality of work. Inclusion in the guide—particularly at the Band 1 level—signals that a firm is consistently recognized as a top performer in its market.
For HWG LLP, the firm's 15-year run at Band 1 in Telecom, Broadcast & Satellite underscores a depth of regulatory knowledge and a track record of guiding clients through evolving federal and state telecommunications frameworks. From spectrum and licensing matters to broadband policy and transactional work, the firm's telecom practice continues to serve carriers, technology companies, investors, and public sector clients navigating a rapidly changing communications landscape.
The second consecutive Chambers ranking in White-Collar Crime & Government Investigations highlights the firm's expanding capabilities in defending companies and individuals facing federal scrutiny. As regulatory enforcement activity continues to intensify across multiple industries, HWG LLP's combined strength in regulatory and investigative work positions the firm to support clients on increasingly complex, cross-disciplinary matters.
