== History ==
Nixon Peabody was formed by the 1999 merger of two firms that began practicing more than a century ago: Nixon, Hargrave, Devans & Doyle LLP and Peabody & Brown. Nixon Hargrave was originally a [[Rochester, New York]], firm that had grown to become one of the largest law firms in New York. It had a strong corporate/institutional practice and a nationally recognized public finance practice. Boston-based Peabody & Brown had a nationally recognized syndication practice and was active in middle and high-growth markets.

In 2000, Nixon Peabody merged with Sixbey Friedman Leedom & Ferguson in Northern Virginia, doubling the size of its intellectual property practice.

The firm expanded into California in 2001 through a merger with Lillick & Charles, founded in San Francisco in 1897.  Throughout the 20th century, Lillick developed a strong base of international clients in Asia and Europe, and played a prominent role as advisor to many California businesses. Over the years, Lillick’s practice grew to include some of the leading transportation, financial, insurance, and industrial companies in the world.

In December 2002, Nixon Peabody merged with the 150-year-old Boston firm of Hutchins, Wheeler & Dittmar, adding fifty attorneys in the areas of business, litigation, and health services.<ref>[http://www.nixonpeabody.com/publications_detail3.asp?ID=1 Nixon press release, 2002-12-23]</ref>

As of 2008, the firm had 1,728 employees in the U.S. and two abroad. The average salary for an 
Associate Attorney was $178,016, and for a secretary $67,733. Women make up 59% of employees, minorities 19%. The firm offers domestic partner benefits for same-sex couples.<ref>{{cite web|title=100 Best Companies to Work for|url=http://archive.fortune.com/magazines/fortune/bestcompanies/2008/snapshots/66.html|website=Fortune|publisher=Time Inc.|accessdate=18 December 2014}}</ref>

In April 2014, Nixon Peabody announced it cut 38 positions, reportedly for "operational efficiency through a flatter administrative structure and a more centralized legal support model.”<ref name=D&C>{{cite web|last1=Daneman|first1=Matthew|title=Nixon Peabody lays off 8 in Rochester|url=http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/money/business/2014/04/11/nixon-peabody-rochester-layoffs/7600071/|website=Democrat & Chronicle|publisher=www.democratandchronicle.com|accessdate=13 November 2014}}</ref>

In October 2015, Nixon Peabody consolidated operations with CWL Partners, a firm based in Hong Kong. The two firms had been formally associated with each other since 2010. The combined firm is known as Nixon Peabody CWL in Hong Kong, but will remain as Nixon Peabody LLP in the U.S., Europe and in the firm’s Shanghai, China, office. The combination adds 30 lawyers and staff, and increases the firm's Asia presence.<ref>{{cite web|title=Nixon Peabody expands relationship with Hong Kong law firm|url=http://www.nixonpeabody.com/Nixon-Peabody-expands-relationship-with-Hong-Kong-law-firm-CWL|website=Nixon Peabody|publisher=Nixon Peabody LLP|accessdate=5 October 2015}}</ref>

Lawyers at the Washington office perform much of their work at the [[Court of Federal Claims]].

==IT team==
The firm's IT team was ranked 9th in 2011 by Computerworld. The magazine noted that it had “centralized the firm's data centers, consolidated its storage assets and virtualized its servers, going from 300 physical servers to 30 VMware ESX servers, all located in its primary data center. The effort cut power consumption by approximately 30%.” Also, the technology department “spent $30,000 to retrofit printers as part of its best practices for office paper management, converting nearly all printers to double-sided printing by default. Moreover, the firm encourages its employees to keep documents in an electronic form instead of printing them out. As a result, paper usage has dropped by 15%, saving an average of 120 cartons -- or 600,000 sheets -- of paper every month.”<ref name=IT>{{cite web|last1=Pratt|first1=Mary|title=Nixon Peabody: Switched to VMware ESX servers|url=http://www.computerworld.com/article/2550240/data-center/nixon-peabody--switched-to-vmware-esx-servers.html|website=www.computerworld.com|publisher=Computerworld, Inc.|accessdate=10 December 2014}}</ref>

==Scott Brown==

Former Massachusetts senator [[Scott Brown (politician)|Scott Brown]] announced in March 2013 that he was joining Nixon Peabody's Boston office. At the same time he became a [[Fox News]] contributor and joined a corporate board. “During my time in politics, I never hesitated to reach across the aisle to work with members of any political party to secure a preferable outcome,” Brown said. “My approach is consistent with the way Nixon Peabody does business and I believe we can be successful together.” Politico noted that “Nixon Peabody has a stable of former elected officials,” including [[Thomas M. Reynolds|Tom Reynolds]], a former New York congressman and Republican Congressional Committee chairman.<ref>{{cite web|title=Scott Brown joins Nixon Peabody|url=http://www.politico.com/story/2013/03/scott-brown-joins-nixon-peabody-88690.html|website=politico.com|publisher=POLITICO LLC|accessdate=18 December 2014}}</ref>

Brown said he would be working out of Boston and focusing "on matters relating to the financial services industry and commercial real estate....Though he will be leaning heavily on his Washington contacts to drum up business for the firm, he will not be a lobbyist,” said officials of the firm.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Levenson|first1=Michael|title=Scott Brown to join Boston law firm Nixon Peabody|url=http://www.boston.com/politicalintelligence/2013/03/11/scott-brown-join-boston-law-firm-nixon-peabody/QGMu0ViAr0a06Ao3kNGFsN/story.html|website=boston.com|publisher=Boston Globe Media Partners, LLC|accessdate=18 December 2014}}</ref>

It was reported in April 2014 that Brown, who had been looking into a Senate run in New Hampshire, was no longer with the firm. “We enjoyed having Scott as a member of our team,” Andrew Glincher, the firm’s chief executive and managing partner, said. “We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”<ref>{{cite web|last1=Miller|first1=Joshua|title=Brown no longer at Nixon Peabody law firm, officials say|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/04/02/brown-longer-working-nixon-peabody-llp-firm-officials-say/cahxiHYZ3t7vR02Ww2g0mJ/story.html|website=bostonglode.com|publisher=BOSTON GLOBE MEDIA PARTNERS, LLC|accessdate=18 December 2014}}</ref>

==David Tamman==

A former Nixon Peabody partner, David Tamman, who in 2012 was sentenced to seven years in prison for conspiring to obstruct justice, altering documents, and abetting a client's false testimony, all in connection with an effort to cover up a client's Ponzi scheme, sued the firm for not paying for his legal defense. In September 2014,  a California state appeals court declined to reject his claim. Nixon Peabody had argued that his suit violated the firm's First Amendment rights, but the court held that “the inclusion of allegations involving protected activity does not subject a claim to the anti-SLAPP statute where the protected activity merely preceded or triggered the lawsuit.”<ref>{{cite web|last1=Orzeck|first1=Kurt|title=Nixon Peabody Can't Beat Jailed Ex-Partner's Defense Suit|url=http://www.law360.com/articles/582861/nixon-peabody-can-t-beat-jailed-ex-partner-s-defense-suit|website=law360|publisher=Portfolio Media, Inc.|accessdate=18 December 2014}}</ref>  Tamman's appeal, arguing that sentencing guidelines were incorrectly applied, was denied by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on April 6, 2015.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Ex-Nixon Peabody Partner’s Prison Term Upheld by Ninth Circuit|url = http://www.nationallawjournal.com/home/id=1202722873914?kw=Ex-Nixon%2520Peabody%2520Partner%2527s%2520Prison%2520Term%2520Upheld%2520by%25209th%2520Circuit&et=editorial&bu=National%2520Law%2520Journal&cn=20150408&src=EMC-Email&pt=Daily%2520Headlines&slreturn=20150308071751|accessdate = 2015-09-16}}</ref>

In September 2009, Melissa Mahler was sued by the [[U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission|SEC]] for having engaged in insider trading when she was a Nixon Peabody associate in 2004. Mahler, who had left the firm in 2005 when her insider trading came to light, was charged with having bought 10,000 shares of a client's stock after learning of plans for a merger. The firm said that she had left “immediately after we learned that her personal conduct had come under regulatory scrutiny.”<ref>{{cite web|last1=Smith|first1=Erin|title=Former Nixon Peabody Associate Sued By SEC For Insider Trading  |url=http://www.businessinsider.com/former-nixon-peabody-associate-sued-by-sec-for-insider-trading-2009-9|website=Business Insider|publisher=Business Insider Inc.|accessdate=18 December 2014}}</ref>
