Our litigation team handles complex commercial cases and business disputes arising from large-scale corporate transactions, shareholder agreements, and real estate matters.

Associate attorneys are encouraged and provided the resources to pursue individual business development opportunities and foster their development through hands-on experience and the ability to curate their own client relationships. The firm offers a competitive salary commensurate with years of experience, and because we are committed to being forward thinking and rewarding everyone that has contributed to the overall success of growing the firm, in addition to base compensation, all employees are offered a discretionary “profit share” at the end of each year based on an evaluation of the firm expenses and revenue for the budgeted year.
