Our approach is different from traditional business counsel. From the outset, we treat every matter as a business problem with legal consequences, not a legal assignment in isolation. That means mapping the stakeholders, incentives, and pressure points early; anticipating the implications of various outcomes; and preparing for the moment when leverage is tested across the table. In our experience, the outcome is often decided long before opposing counsel exchange pleasantries.

We are often brought into matters where the counterparty, issues, or stakes are larger than the client. Those same matters often place us across the table from sophisticated counterparties with something to prove.

We do too, and have.

A threatened $233K equity clawback became a $1.14M settlement (in 7 days). A $43,000 severance offer became $141,000 for a client terminated for “performance” reasons. A CIPA class action with seven-figure exposure potential ended in voluntary discontinuance despite declined settlement overtures. Brooklyn Mirage terminated a client and withheld his commissions. Then paid him $45,000 (in 12 days).

It sounds hyberbolic. It isnt.
