A bit about us:

We are a multi-disciplinary, full-service New York City firm with nearly fifty years in the market and offices across New York, Washington, D.C., and Florida. Our practice spans commercial litigation, real estate, government relations, corporate, and private client services — which means our Trusts & Estates attorneys work alongside lawyers who handle the underlying transactions and business deals that shape
their clients' wealth. The work is substantive, the clients are sophisticated, and the firm is stable

Why join us?

  • Cross-practice client access — our T&E attorneys regularly interface with clients who also have real
estate, corporate, and litigation needs, creating natural opportunities for broader relationship
development.
  • Real matter depth — you will draft and negotiate complex estate plans, administer trusts, advise high-net-worth individuals and families, and appear in Surrogate's Court and tax forums when disputes
arise.
  • Collegial, non-siloed environment — a mid-market firm means direct partner access, not years in a
queue, and your name goes on the work.
  • Geographic footprint — NYC headquarters with multi-office reach; NYC-caliber work without the
lockstep churn of a large firm.
