Our bottom line: when the client wins, we win. And not just because successful clients make for a successful practice (although there’s that too, of course). What makes us most excited about our work is the opportunity to partner with happy, optimistic, and dynamic clients whose projects inspire and motivate us. That’s why our primary focus is on the needs of entrepreneurs, creatives, and new Americans.
Entrepreneurs
Our experience with intrepid business owners runs the gamut. We’ve guided Internet startups on company formation, creation of strategic partnerships, and securing funding. We’ve helped new bars negotiate leases and all the paperwork necessary for a smooth launch. We’ve worked with top brand identity shops to restructure for stronger growth and greater success. We’ve worked with design companies to devise long-term strategies to protect their intellectual property. And so on.

What all these entrepreneurs have in common is a strong drive to succeed and the desire to create something of unsurpassed quality, a product that they strongly believe in. We help them create the legal framework to form, finance, and protect their businesses—because after all, we’re entrepreneurs too.
Creatives
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that we’re passionate about design. Some of us have worked in-house at design firms, others of us are ardent followers of the fashion industry, and all of us have a strong affinity for good design, and the people who bring it into being. So we understand that creatives work best when they’re free from the distractions of legal and business considerations.

Through our close working relationships with top-notch consultants in the art, fashion, and design world, we are uniquely suited to help artists, galleries, and fashion labels structure and run their businesses in a way that will give them peace of mind while leaving the creative space to focus on what they do best: making the world a more beautiful place.
New Americans
Much of our immigration work comes from helping our entrepreneur and creative clients bring in and retain special talent from abroad—that star designer, or the up-and-coming artist, maybe the whiz kid web developer. Navigating the complex and exacting system of the U.S. immigration system is the last thing growing businesses need to worry about, and so we’re happy to help.

But that’s not all we do. Our lawyers have experience in a full range of immigration matters, ranging from marriage and fiancé(e) visas to asylum cases. We are honored to offer these services because we believe that immigrants have a great deal in common with our other clients: they’re brave, hard-working people in search of a better future.
