About Us
Veteran Washington DC attorneys Tom Mills and Allen Black founded Mills Black LLP in February 2020, after working together for over 20 years in a large global law firm. While they treasured their experience in that environment, they were eager to build a flexible and efficient firm; one that provides direct and responsive client service and communication, top tier work product, and competitive rates alongside practical alternative fee arrangements. A few months later, Mills Black LLP was joined by Peter F. Black, rounding out the team with his industry experience in P&I insurance matters, energy, and transportation fields, as well as his extensive litigation and regulatory background. Imran O. Shaukat joined Mills Black LLP in 2024. His comprehensive Maryland-based maritime and transportation experience in both transactional and litigation matters help solidify Mills Black LLP’s regional reach and confirm its commitment to outstanding work and efficient results.
Our Approach
Attorneys at Mills Black LLP take great pride in being effective problem-solvers, and have extensive experience in helping their clients to solve their regulatory and commercial issues. We do this by providing clear, direct, and responsive advice, conducting thorough and efficient internal investigations, working with federal and state regulators when we can, and protecting our clients and their interests through zealous advocacy and litigation when necessary. We have years of experience working with both large multi-national corporations as well as with small businesses and professionals to find cost-effective solutions.
In addition to the work we do for our clients, we at Mills Black LLP pride ourselves on working well with other attorneys and law firms to achieve the best possible results for their clients. We understand the dynamics of working with other firms who seek specialized experience or support with health care, maritime, transportation, or regulatory matters and will partner with other law firms when appropriate to provide the best possible advice, service, and support.
