About the firm
A New York firm acting for companies, investors and founders across the United States, and on the matters that reach beyond it.
Your attorney answers the phone.
You deal directly with the attorney handling your matter, not with someone relaying messages on their behalf.
That sounds procedural until something moves at short notice and you need a decision from the person who actually knows the file. Continuity of counsel is the reason clients stay with us, and we structure the practice to protect it.
We act for corporate groups, startups, real estate investors, financial institutions and private clients. Different sizes, but the same expectation: tell me where I stand, tell me what it costs, and do not make me chase you for it.
What you can expect from us.
A straight answer first
Including when the answer is that you do not have a case worth bringing, or that the cheaper route is the better one.
Costs before work
You get our view of fees and likely duration in writing, before anything starts. No open meter.
One named lawyer
The person who assesses your matter is the person who conducts it, and you have their direct line.
Plain language
Advice you can act on and repeat to your board without a translation layer.
Urgency taken at your word
If a matter is time-critical, say so and it is treated that way rather than queued behind everything else.
Discretion
Commercial and personal matters are handled quietly. We do not publish client names or case results.
How your matter is staffed
Every matter belongs to one named attorney. This is what that commitment means from the first call onward.
One attorney owns the file
The attorney who assesses your matter is the one who conducts it. Nothing is handed down a chain, and you will never explain your situation twice to two different people.
A direct line, not a switchboard
You get the number that reaches the attorney holding your file. When a matter moves at short notice, that is the difference between an answer today and an answer next week.
Admissions on the record
We act for clients across the United States in federal matters, and work with local counsel where a state admission is required. Where we do not hold an admission a matter needs, we say so rather than working around it.
One point of responsibility
Where a matter crosses practice areas, the attorney who holds it stays responsible and brings in colleagues. Responsibility does not move with the subject.
Where we practice
Tell us what has happened.
A first consultation is where you find out whether you have a problem worth acting on. If you do not, we will say so.
