We understand business, but more importantly, we take the time to understand your business. We serve clients of nearly every size in a wide variety of industries and markets, from major sectors like health care, manufacturing and food and beverage to middle market, nonprofits and family businesses, to emerging niches, including data security. Whether you need outside general counsel or a trusted adviser to your in-house team, we bring you the very best minds, strategies and solutions.
Our practice spans the entire continuum of employment and immigration law. By helping employers develop and implement sound contracts, policies and procedures, we mitigate risk and create an environment where talented teams can flourish. As your legal partners in addressing compliance, audits, investigations and claims defense, we offer leading-edge counsel that protects your interests.
Nobody wants to be tied up in litigation and avoiding protracted litigation when possible is a goal we share. We excel in effective pre-dispute counseling and compliance designed to avoid litigation and the distraction it causes your business. When claims do arise, we work collaboratively to favorably resolve cases without costly trials, freeing you to focus on building your business.
When litigation is necessary, we have the skills to efficiently get results. Our litigators have significant jury, bench trial and agency experience, and we represent clients before federal and state courts and administrative agencies across the country.
We are passionate about helping you navigate the complexities of the constantly changing legal landscape. Our nimble team of attorneys can position your business to seize opportunities and face challenges with confidence.
