Derrick A. Humphries and Partners are founding members of the firm. They bring decades of experience in the ways of Washington , how decisions are made, and how legal and public policy issues impact business. They pride themselves on being “can do” lawyers who get the job done, by being personally involved, giving patient and meticulous attention to detail, and providing complete service of client needs. Just as important, they are distinguished by the spiritual values that inform what they do and how they approach problems. Their motto, “Believing is Seeing” embodies their holistic dedication to their profession.
The firm's capabilities lie in providing general counsel services to associations and corporations; rebuilding corporate governance, structural and operational issues; and creative structuring of business transactions in buying and selling assets. It also has extensive experience in representing current and retired military officers and others with the transition into the business community.
Meticulous attention to detail and a comprehensive knowledge of the law have also enabled Humphries & Partners to build a broad practice representing clients in securities and investments transactions. They also have worked for years with associations, many of whom came to the firm to get started and then grow as healthy and thriving nonprofit 501 (c) 3 corporations. In particular, the firm has built a reputation negotiating and executing the contracts of radio, television, and cable television on-air personalities. The firm has also represented several authors in their contract relationships with publishers.
Moreover, Humphries & Partners has built the "H&P Network" affiliations with specialist lawyers who present a wide array of capabilities across the spectrum of legal issues, including ADA discrimination, Social Security, personal injury, employment, patents and trademark, public policy, medical malpractice, class action discrimination, land use and zoning, corporate, communications, telecommunications, entertainment, sports, criminal justice, managed care, incorporating and qualifying 501(c)(3) corporations, immigration, contracts, finance and securities, divorce and probate.
