Bancroft PLLC (formerly Bancroft Associates PLLC) was an American law firm headquartered in Washington, D.C. The firm was founded in Washington, D.C. by former Assistant Attorney General Viet D. Dinh. Bancroft specialized in Supreme Court and appellate litigation, government investigations, national security law, and corporate governance.

Bancroft worked in a number of substantive areas, including antitrust, arbitration, class actions, commercial, copyright, criminal, education, employment, energy, environmental, ERISA, FDA, health care, insurance, labor, national security, patent, preemption, RICO, securities, telecommunications, and all manner of constitutional issues.[2]

In April 2011, former Solicitor General Paul Clement joined the firm as a partner after resigning from King & Spalding, after that firm dropped the case of defending the Defense of Marriage Act.[3] In September 2016, Kirkland & Ellis hired all of the attorneys at the firm.[4]

History

Bancroft PLLC was founded in 2003 as a legal and policy strategy firm by Viet Dinh. Dinh is perhaps best known for his involvement in designing the USA PATRIOT Act while serving as an Assistant Attorney General in the administration of George W. Bush.[5] The firm's name reflects the address of the Dupont Circle townhouse that served as its first location.[2]
