Curtis Law in Washington D.C.

The White House is moments from Curtis' Washington D.C. office – and Kate is there to speak with managing partner Claudia Frutos-Peterson, who teaches international commercial and investment arbitration alongside her thriving practice, and Dan Porter, who leads the firm’s elite international trade practice.

• Claudia Frutos-Peterson explains the attraction for young attorneys of these dynamic areas of the law and why advising sovereign clients is particularly interesting. She also talks about how the international nature of a firm like Curtis sits perfectly in D.C. – where life is truly multicultural and multilingual.
• Dan Porter focuses on both advisory and litigation trade work. He describes working at the intersection of trade policy and politics. In an election year, his focus is on advising international clients into the U.S. on the likely implications of a change in administration.
