Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP (a.k.a. "Hughes Hubbard," or "HH&R"), founded in 1888, is a law firm headquartered in New York City.

The firm's history dates back to the late 19th century when it counted among its partners former Chief Justice of the United States Charles Evans Hughes.

Hughes Hubbard was recently ranked first among law firms designated the best in the United States by The American Lawyer in its July/August 2011 issue ("The A-List").[4] Hughes Hubbard has also been one of the country's leaders in promoting diversity in law firms. In 2006, Hughes Hubbard was ranked the nation's #1 law firm in diversity by Multicultural Law Magazine. The firm also has the highest percentage of female partners in the AmLaw 200.[5]

Hughes Hubbard is a general-practice firm with 30 practice areas under its belt in both the litigation and corporate fields, though it is probably best known for its vast litigation experience and expertise, particularly in the areas of product liability, insurance coverage, white-collar defense and art law. Also renowned for its pro bono achievements, in 2006 Hughes Hubbard received the New York State Bar Association's President's Pro Bono Service Award, in the large law firm category.

In November 2008, Hughes Hubbard was one of the firms retained by the United States Department of the Treasury to assist in the administration of the 2008 financial services bailout.[6]
