- Collegial Team
We are a community of highly experienced attorneys who thrive working in an innovative and flexible way. Our attorneys work collaboratively in person, by telephone and video conferencing, by email correspondence, and through the use of online document sharing tools. We attract and support attorneys from a wealth of cultural backgrounds.
- Transparent Compensation
We compensate attorneys based on an objective formula that avoids the tension and conflict created by opaque and discretionary compensation formulas embraced by traditional law firms. Our innovative business model enables attorneys to retain a higher percentage of their billable revenue while charging clients significantly less than traditional law firms. The firm provides the freedom and flexibility to bill at a rate determined by an attorney’s practice and clients.
- Green Environment
We strive to minimize our impact on the environment as much as possible through responsible practices. By working primarily from home offices, our attorneys commute less, save on gasoline, and improve air quality. We have greatly reduced our use of paper by utilizing secure digital file management wherever possible.
- Flexible Work Environment
Potomac Law enables attorneys to take more control of their legal career. Our attorneys have the freedom and flexibility to work from any location that suits the attorney and his/her clients’ needs. We believe that working remotely enables us to be more productive and efficient in balancing our professional and personal commitments. In addition, we have rejected minimum billable requirements that can create an inherent conflict between a client’s needs and an attorney’s work-life balance.
Law schools from which our lawyers most frequently graduated:
Harvard Law School

Why I Joined PLG
PartnerI joined Potomac Law after working in BigLaw, serving as general counsel of a public company, and running a solo practice. I recognize the value of having highly experienced colleagues in a range of practice areas available to collaborate on client matters. My clients’ needs are varied and I often call upon my colleagues to assist in corporate, tax, employee benefits, litigation, government contracts, and employment law. I am very pleased with high caliber attorneys at PLG.
PartnerI was delighted to bring my legal practice to Potomac Law. I have been practicing employment and higher education law for nearly 25 years in private practice, as in-house general counsel and as outside general counsel. Potomac Law offers an unmatched environment in which to practice law and provides the highest level of service to clients with billing transparency and efficiency. All of my clients have been referred to me through someone I know, and I am very pleased that the PLG model offers such value for them.
CounselI am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of PLG’s innovative law firm model as I continue my litigation career in a setting more conducive to balance. I enjoy collaborating with smart and experienced attorneys in representing sophisticated clients. Additionally, with PLG’s flexibility comes efficiency, which benefits both clients and attorneys.
PartnerWhat a sense of liberation I’ve felt since joining PLG. I have all the benefits of BigLaw and none of the drawbacks. PLG’s policies are designed to ensure that the interests of the firm, its attorneys, and their clients are perfectly aligned. I’m able to provide outstanding service without the pressure to bill a certain number of hours or push work down to junior associates. Since joining PLG, interactions with my wonderful colleagues across the country – from partners to paralegals to admins – have far surpassed what I experienced in BigLaw, both quantitatively and qualitatively. I’m amazed at the caliber of professionals here, in terms of knowledge, experience, and personality. My theory is that the firm’s progressive model is self-selecting: it attracts people who are forward-thinking, dynamic, entrepreneurial, and – best of all in my book – unpretentious.
PartnerFor the first decade of my legal career, I worked in BigLaw before launching a successful solo practice. As a solo practitioner, I frequently had to send some of my clients’ legal work out to other law firms, either because the issue was outside my area of expertise or I lacked the bandwidth to take on the anticipated workload by myself. By joining PLG, I immediately gained access to colleagues and resources that enabled me to grow and expand my practice considerably. My clients are thrilled to learn that the firm offers different areas of expertise to handle their matters “in house.” Working alongside and collaborating with my colleagues continues to provide me with tremendous opportunities I would not have enjoyed as a solo practitioner.
