Described by The New York Times as a “King of K Street,” Ed Newberry is Global Managing Partner, Public Policy, Compliance, Investigatory and Regulatory Solutions, and is a member of the firm’s Executive Leadership Group.
Trained by the legendary lobbyist Tommy Boggs, Ed is widely recognized as one of the leading lawyer-lobbyists in Washington DC. He is ranked by a leading magazine as one of the top 100 attorneys in the US and as a Leading Lawyer by The Legal 500, which noted he “is one of the most talented lawyers in Washington,” as well as “an excellent strategic thinker and tactician.” The Silicon Review identified Ed as one of the 30 Best Leaders of 2022 and he has been selected as a "Top Lobbyist" by The Hill. POLITICO ranked Ed as a top municipal lobbyist, and his work has been highlighted in mainstream news media, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the National Journal, Roll Call and others. Forbes wrote of Ed, “For those who truly understand the personalities and skill sets that comprise the ranks of a major law firm, the conclusion is an easy one: Newberry is a doer of deeds.”
Ed is a trusted advisor to a wide range of corporate and sovereign government clients, including among the highest profile and most difficult policy challenges. His current projects include helping the largest technology company in the world address challenges with the US government; assisting one of the largest Korean conglomerates in expanding its business operations in the US; and leading efforts to secure US government approval of the Pebble Mine in Alaska (which contains the largest copper reserves in the world); as well as assisting major sovereign nations in their relations with the US government.
Before assuming his current role as a global managing partner, Ed served as managing partner of Patton Boggs, LLP, and led the firm’s merger with Squire Sanders to create Squire Patton Boggs, LLP, which ranked 12th in Law360’s Global 20 list of the top international law firms.
