Foley Hoag LLP (formerly Foley, Hoag & Eliot LLP) is a law firm headquartered in Boston, with additional offices in New York City, Paris, France and Washington, D.C.. The firm represents public and private clients in a wide range of disputes and transactions worldwide. It offers regional, national and international legal services. Represented industries include life sciences and healthcare, technology, energy and renewables, investment management, and professional services. Foley Hoag also specializes in international litigation and arbitration, and corporate social responsibility services.
The firm was founded on April 1, 1943 when Henry Elliot Foley teamed with Garrett Scattergood Hoag. The two founders began their firm in a three-room office at 10 Post Office Square in Boston's Financial District.
The firm was involved in Boston's early civil rights struggle and the Boston busing crisis when it represented the plaintiffs in a 1970s lawsuit that brought desegregation to Boston Public Schools. This legal victory resulted in the firm establishing the Foley Hoag Foundation, which focuses on improving race relations in Boston.
Foley Hoag is also involved in the Boston-area entrepreneurial community, providing counsel local technology startup companies. In 2002, the firm moved its main office to its current location in the Seaport District in South Boston.
Foley Hoag opened its first office outside of Massachusetts in Washington, D.C. in 1985, focusing on international litigation and arbitration practices. The firm's corporate social responsibility, government strategies and healthcare practices are also based in D.C. In June 2011, the firm opened an office in Paris to serve overseas companies and sovereign states in international arbitration and litigation matters. In May 2015, the firm opened its first office in New York to expand its intellectual property and international litigation practices.
