Meet Our Team
I have always held and imbued the firm with the principle that the practice of law is a profession not just a business, and that results are more important than billable hours. The zealous representation of our clients’ interests has always been the firm’s guiding star. We started as a complex litigation boutique in the 1970s, and our services have expanded to include a sophisticated commercial real estate practice, a robust labor and employment sector, and deep antitrust and IP expertise. While the firm’s litigation history has always included diverse appearances in complex international matters, the addition of the Pavia practice and its attorneys will take us to the next step in sophisticated business representation of international clients.
