Ropes & Gray
 PROFILE
Ropes & Gray answers the questions "What was the preferred means of dispensing justice in the 19th century?" and "What color suits were the trial lawyers wearing?" Actually, Ropes & Gray -- Boston's largest law firm -- is named after Harvard Law School graduates John Ropes and John Gray Jr., who founded it in 1865. The firm, which has more than 325 attorneys, is a leader in areas such as leveraged buyouts (it recently was part of the Domino's Pizza LBO), trust and estates, and health care. Other practices include creditors' rights, labor and employment, litigation, and tax. The firm also operates in London; New York City; Providence, Rhode Island; and Washington, DC.
