Our Firm
Our Firm's Philosophy
Our firm is devoted to helping businesses of all types and sizes, business fiduciaries, and individuals create strategies and manage complex and high-stakes legal situations. By utilizing our uniquely expansive legal and business background, we have built a successful track record of providing novel solutions to help address complex problems.
Our attorneys have all worked in private practice at well-regarded, large national and international law firms and have also had the unique experience of working as senior in-house counsel at large corporations, including a large non-profit organization and an international alternative investment manager with billions under management.
We strive to deliver unique strategies and unparalleled service to address complex legal issues and disputes. We have abandoned the use of a single outdated billable-hour model, and work to align our business with results – not time - in nearly every engagement. We take the extra time and effort, up-front, to shape valuable strategies that maximize the odds of a successful result.
Three Reasons to Choose Us
Billing Philosophy
When we formed our firm, we took the significant experience gained from national, well-regarded firms and looked to improve how clients interact with their lawyers. To be a zealous advocate, our focus needs to be on the issues, not on how much time it takes to address them. Nearly all of our matters include a form of alternative billing arrangement to align our firm's interests with our client's goals, and reward our firm on results, not time. These arrangements are unique to every matter and not just one-dimensional alternative fee arrangements.
Diverse Solutions
Our legal team is always prepared to address urgent legal matters that may arise with hands-on, comprehensive legal advice. We are experienced in handling a wide spectrum of commercial issues and legal disputes, including those that require complex commercial litigation, financial workouts and restructurings, alternative dispute resolution, or settlement, special, and general counsel services. We are adept at performing extensive due-diligence to understand the legal issues, developing legal strategies, and if needed, partnering with attorneys at various firms around the globe.
Investment in Relationships
One of the core benefits of a boutique firm is the ability to form long-lasting, dedicated relationships with our clients. We pride ourselves on not only getting to know our clients' businesses, but all about their families and personal interests. In order to understand what legal strategies work best to achieve our clients' business goals, we need to get to know the people driving the decision making process. Plus, it makes the whole experience more enjoyable for everyone even though the situations we are assisting with may be high-stakes and stressful.
Our Focus
Business Dispute Resolution
We have broad experience resolving a range of high-stakes, complex commercial disputes at all stages of the resolution process. In addition to having depth in our trial practice, our firm's focus is on positioning our clients to achieve their business objectives, and we have built our firm's business model to align our interests with our clients.
General, Conflicts, & Settlement Counsel
Our firm has developed a diverse practice in providing special counsel services to a wide range of businesses and fiduciaries. We also frequently provide unique solutions to help economically resolve legal matters as outside general counsel, settlement counsel, and conflicts counsel to businesses and fiduciaries dealing with legal matters.
Business Restructuring & Trustee Representation
Our attorneys have represented banks, hedge funds, and other financial institutions in disputes involving complex financial instruments. Our attorneys have spent a large part of their legal career in nationally recognized financial litigation groups as well as in-house counsel for financial institutions. We understand the process of counseling financial institutions throughout the dispute process.
