Photo of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Pepper's Harrisburg office is a great place to build a legal career. The Harrisburg office offers you the best of two worlds. As an office, we're relatively small -- with about 12 lawyers, you'll get to know everybody in no time, and your work and talents won't get lost in the shuffle. As a firm, we're big -- 500 lawyers in 11 offices, working on complex matters for top clients across the state, the country and the world. That means you'll get to work on a variety of exciting, challenging matters that aren't available at most Harrisburg firms, while enjoying an environment similar to a "boutique" firm.

The Harrisburg office has been representing clients before the Pennsylvania Legislature, regulatory agencies, and in state and federal courts for more than 30 years. Our Harrisburg litigators represent clients in commercial litigation, including claims arising under the antitrust laws, securities laws, and ERISA, health effects and product liability litigation, and employment litigation arising under federal and state employment statutes. The office also represents clients with issues relating to state government, and handles problems involving the regulation of medicine and other professions, public utilities, insurance and corporations. Our Harrisburg lawyers also are experienced in environmental law, commercial real estate, corporate transactions, intellectual property, government and industrial development, health care and municipal finance throughout Pennsylvania and beyond.

The Harrisburg office is in One Keystone Plaza, overlooking the scenic Susquehanna River and just steps away from the Capitol and state agency offices. It's within easy commuting distance of dozens of suburban and rural communities in the region -- as one of our partners says, "I have a seven-minute commute -- eight if the elevator is slow." If your interested in a big-firm career without the big-firm drawbacks, give us a call.
