What Mintz does

Mintz is a privately held, full-service AmLaw 100 law firm headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, with a history dating to 1933 and operating under the legal name Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. The firm serves public corporations, privately held businesses, and entrepreneurs across eight offices in the United States (Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Diego, San Francisco, and Washington DC) and Canada (Toronto, opened May 2023 as the firm's first international office). Its core offering is organized by practice area, with primary verticals in Life Sciences, Technology, Health Care, and Private Equity, complemented by horizontal capabilities in Employment Counseling, Intellectual Property, Venture Capital & Emerging Companies, and Sustainable Energy & Infrastructure. Notable 2025-2026 engagements include $5.6 billion in sustainable energy and infrastructure deals, a $1.3 billion financing supporting the Paratek-Radius pharmaceutical combination, and a $65 billion Potentia infrastructure development, alongside recurring representation of venture investors such as SYN Ventures in cybersecurity financings.

The firm generates revenue through professional legal services billed on hourly rates, fixed fees, contingency arrangements, and retainer agreements, with no publicly disclosed pricing and no subscription or productized offering. Distribution is direct enterprise sales via partner-led engagement, supported by thought-leadership marketing through the Insights Center blog, the Mintz On Air: Practical Policies podcast, events such as Employment Law Summits, and email newsletters. ML Strategies, a government relations and policy consulting subsidiary, operates as an adjacent offering rather than a core legal product. Mintz does not have an external ownership parent and is owned and controlled by its equity partners under a professional corporation structure.

Mintz's competitive position rests on talent credentials (85 attorneys recognized by Chambers USA 2026, 173 in Best Lawyers 2026 across 53 practice areas, 67 top-tier rankings in Best Lawyers 2025) and regulatory depth across the FTC, DOJ, ITC, FERC, and state-level bodies. The firm has won 16 consecutive perfect scores on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index. Reported material risks include a Texas legal malpractice lawsuit and a $2 million success fee dispute with Parus Holdings, both of which are noted but do not appear material to firm-level operations.
