The Firm's Philosophy

We believe that the best lawyers are those who can help their clients think strategically about their issues.  Whether you are starting a small business, managing a multinational corporation, or simply need an attorney, it is best to have a lawyer who can help you not only solve the immediate problem, but to avoid future risks.  Thus, the firm's philosophy is to assist our clients in risk management and conflict resolution.
 
We have also adopted a pro bono policy to assist those who otherwise could not afford to pay for legal services.  We will also consider waiving or reducing our fees in matters involving important public interests.

The Firm's Focus

The firm provides outside "general counsel" services to corporations, nonprofit organizations, private foundations, and individuals on a variety of legal matters, including:
  • corporate and transactional work
  • regulatory compliance
  • internal audit procedures
  • risk management
  • litigation oversight
  • conflict resolution

The firm has a particular concentration in matters involving:

  • Philanthropic foundations and nonprofit organizations.
  • Banking regulation and creditors’ rights.
  • Corporate restructuring, loan workouts, and bankruptcy.
  • Trust and fiduciary obligations.
  • Communications and media issues.
Because these areas of concentration may sometimes involve litigation, the firm is also able to assist clients in that regard.  However, because of the firm's philosophy of risk management and conflict resolution, our lawyers will assist clients in finding creative ways to avoid litigation if at all possible.
