Counsel that holds
in the difficult moments.

For M&A and financing transactions, we work on an hourly basis with agreed budgets established at engagement. We provide budget-to-actual reporting at each phase. For companies that retain us on an ongoing basis — typically for commercial contracts or general corporate work — we offer monthly fixed-fee arrangements calibrated to anticipated volume. We discuss fee structure candidly at the outset; we do not quote fees that require reading the fine print to understand.

For new inquiries, a partner will respond within one business day. For existing clients with active matters, same-day response is the standard — not the exception. For genuinely urgent situations — a preliminary injunction that needs to be filed, a closing that is in danger — we have the capacity to respond immediately. The partners listed on this site each carry direct dial numbers for exactly this reason.

We run a conflicts check before any engagement begins. Because we are a focused firm — not a 500-lawyer platform — conflicts are less common than at large firms, and we can frequently resolve them through ethical walls or client consent. When a genuine conflict exists that we cannot resolve appropriately, we will tell you immediately and, where possible, refer you to counsel we trust. We will not accept a matter if doing so compromises our ability to represent any current client fully.

A named partner owns every engagement from start to finish. Associates do substantive work — diligence, drafting, research — under direct partner supervision, and their work is reviewed before it reaches you. The partner is in the room (or on the call) for every material negotiation, every board presentation, and every closing. This is not how every firm operates, and we consider it a meaningful distinction.

Yes. We take on a limited number of early-stage matters each year where we believe the business has genuine potential and the founders merit serious counsel at the formation stage. We do not offer equity-for-fees arrangements. We do offer phased engagement structures that align our fees with the company's financing milestones. The conversation about whether we are the right fit — including whether the economics work — happens in the first call, not after you have already engaged us.

We handle the US law aspects of cross-border transactions directly and coordinate with established local counsel in the relevant foreign jurisdictions — particularly Canada, the UK, Germany, Israel, and India, where our clients most frequently have counterpart operations. We manage the overall transaction, ensure consistency across jurisdictions, and serve as the single point of accountability for the client.
