What Washington law firm did politician Arthur J. Goldberg work for
from the '70s on?

In the late '60s, he was with Paul, Weiss, Goldberg, Rifkind, Wharton,
and Garrison, but he left to run for governor of New York in 1970. 
After that, he worked for a Washington law firm, but I can't find out
which one.

He was also briefly an ambassador in the late '70s, and lived until 1990.

Hi halphillips,

Please let me know if this answers your question:

"After resigning from the United Nations in 1968, Goldberg resumed the
practice of law as a senior partner in the New York law firm of Paul,
Weiss, Goldberg, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison. He left that firm in
1971 and opened his own law office in Washington. 'The Law Practice'
subseries is organized to reflect his activities in both firms. Files
listed under the heading ?Arthur J. Goldberg? pertain to his
Washington law office and include correspondence, a legal file, and a
teaching file. The legal file contains material relating to his work
in international law, his representation of Kaiser Industries
Corporation, his work for the Denver Post and its employee stock
trust, and his representation of Curt Flood, whose antitrust suit
contributed to free agency for professional baseball players..."

I know he was in private practice, but I'm trying to find out if his
firm had a name (i.e. Goldberg and Smith LLP, that sort of thing).

I have the sense from my research that he did not work for a law firm
at that time, but as a solo practitioner.  But I cannot prove it.

I found similar pages to rainbow (though she may have found more
authoritative sources).  What I meant by "solo practictioner" is that
he had his own practice; I don't know whether other attorneys worked
at his practice.
