Blake M.Randolph

Blake advises principals  as they navigate complex and often competing interests. He has advised two US senators and the chair of the House Judiciary Committee on high-profile legislative and political matters. This background provides him with a unique perspective geared toward understanding the legal and non-legal interests of the client, and providing sound advice that endures through the peaks and valleys. Similarly, he has worked closely with a federal judge as his judicial law clerk and gained invaluable insight into the federal litigation process, which enables him to add value for clients that may have high-stakes cases in federal court. In that capacity, he also cultivated his ability to provide an objective legal analysis on complex matters, which is paramount for clients that need to understand risk and legal exposure.

Blake brings a rare, full‑spectrum view of federal law shaped by his experience in both the legislative and judicial branches. At the federal level, he drafted legislation  addressing civil rights and emerging technology issues and led government investigations, giving him firsthand insight into how investigations are built—and how they are defended. His work in Congress also grounded him in the legislative process as he drafted bills proposed as federal legislation, while his federal judicial clerkship provided him with experience in how federal law is ultimately interpreted and applied across public and private sectors. As a clerk, Blake also gained deep exposure to federal litigation in civil and criminal matters. He now draws on that perspective to handle a wide range of federal issues, including commercial and employment disputes, class actions, and trial work.

“The facts involved in a legal matter come together to tell a story. As a lawyer, it is deeply rewarding to understand that story and play a part in shaping its successful conclusion.”
