George Terwilliger
Career
George Terwilliger has earned distinction as one of the nation’s premier lawyers. That status is attested by a long history of clients seeking his counsel in their most challenging matters. Recently, he has successfully defended a member of congress and subsequently a sitting governor facing intense federal investigations. His corporate investigation matters include those arising from diesel vehicle emissions, pharmaceutical opioids and tech industry competition. He also was counsel in a virtual federal bench trial of a commercial transactional dispute, as well as in arguing constitutional issues in a state supreme court. His history includes representing major national and international banks, energy and manufacturing companies in both litigation and investigations in the United States and abroad.
