Nossaman LLP is a national law firm with 160 attorneys and policy advisors located in seven offices throughout the United States. The Firm focuses on distinct areas of law and policy, as well as in specific industries, ranging from transportation, healthcare, and financial services to real estate development, water, and employment. Clients of the Firm include multi-national corporations, public agencies, private businesses, trade associations, non-profits, and individuals. E. George Joseph serves as Nossaman's managing partner.
The Firm was founded in 1942 in Los Angeles by Walter L. Nossaman. As a result of several mergers and acquisitions, the Firm’s name has morphed throughout the years. In 2008, Nossaman merged with the Washington, DC law firm O’Connor & Hannan and shortened its name from Nossaman Guthner Knox & Elliott.
Nossaman's Litigation Department celebrated a significant win in 2012 on behalf of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporate (FDIC), in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as the Receiver for IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. v. Scott Van Dellen et al. where the FDIC was awarded a $169 million verdict. This was the first lawsuit filed against former bank officers by the FDIC arising out of the recent financial crisis and was also the first such suit to go to trial. The verdict was #13 on the National Law Journal's list of the "Top 100 Verdicts of the Year" for 2012, and was profiled by the Daily Journal as the Top Plaintiffs' Verdict by Impact for 2012 and named the second largest Plaintiffs' Verdict by Dollar for 2012 (the only case to earn a place on both Daily Journal lists).
The National Law Journal named Nossaman to its "Midsize Hot List," a special feature that highlights 20 of the nation's leading midsize law firms, in 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2011, as well as its annual “NLJ 350" list of largest law firms in the United States. Chambers and Partners continually recognizes Nossaman’s Eminent Domain, Environment & Land Use, Healthcare, and Infrastructure Practice Groups in its guide to top law firms in the U.S. In 2015 and 2016, Nossaman was also named to Law360's lists of the "100 Best Law Firms for Minority Attorneys" and "100 Best Law Firms for Female Attorneys."
