Greenwich, CT · New York, NY
Seven practice areas, one corridor.
Most matters worth bringing to a firm are more than one kind of matter. A building sale is real estate, corporate and estate work at once, and here those lawyers sit in the same office.

Practice areas
And this is all of them.
Commercial real estate
Acquisition, disposition, leasing and financing across Connecticut and New York.
Corporate and business law
Formation, governance, purchase and sale, and the agreements that decide what happens when partners disagree.
Estate planning
Wills, trusts and the structures that hold a family's assets across two states with different rules.
Estate and trust administration
Probate, fiduciary work and the administration itself, not merely the drafting.
Employment law
For employers and executives: agreements, separations and the disputes that follow both.
Real estate and land use
Zoning, permitting and the municipal approvals that decide whether a project happens at all.
Intellectual property
Trademark and brand protection for businesses whose name is most of what they own.
Why that matters
Because a matter rarely stays in its lane.
A family sells a commercial building. That is a real estate closing, a corporate question about the entity that holds it, a tax and estate question about what the proceeds do next, and possibly an employment question about the people in it. At a single-discipline firm, three of those four get referred out and nobody owns the sequence.
Describe the situation. We will tell you what it involves.
The first meeting establishes whether there is a matter, what it will take and on what basis it would be billed.

Before you call
The questions that come first.
Are you licensed in both Connecticut and New York?
The firm practises in Greenwich and New York, which matters most for estates and real estate, where the two states differ enough that a plan drafted for one can behave badly in the other.
Do the practice areas overlap on one matter?
Frequently, and that is the argument for a firm this size. A commercial building sale is a real estate matter, a corporate matter and an estate matter at once, and here those three lawyers are down the corridor from each other.
How are fees structured?
It depends on the matter. Transactional work is often quoted; litigation and administration are generally hourly. Either way the basis is agreed in writing before work starts.
What happens at a first meeting?
You describe the situation and get a view on whether there is a matter, what it involves and roughly what it will take. It is not a pitch.
