We are experienced trial lawyers with sharp instincts: an increasingly rare breed of attorney that eschews busy work in favor of crucial efforts to move clients’ cases to successful resolution.
We are skilled in handling cases throughout the United States and in international arbitration. Our personal, customized, and nimble approach to client work is designed to yield high-impact results.
We strategically pair legal matters with attorneys best suited to the unique issues of each case. Our team excels at navigating intricate matters and delivering targeted strategies in a timely, no-nonsense manner.
Our lawyers are accessible and responsive because our clients deserve integrity, transparency, and candid feedback. Client focus is paramount to our practice. Every detail of how we operate is tailored to meet our clients’ needs.
Since our founding in 1991, our team has held true to our approach. Clients deserve brand name experience with more efficient service than the large firm setting provides. They deserve impressive and decisive results.
Our founding partners, John H. Buck and James Keenan, envisioned a small, dedicated group of highly qualified lawyers assembled to handle matters more responsively and resourcefully than large firms. That vision continues to drive the culture of the firm. Our partners and associates work together in a collegial, accessible atmosphere, with a dedication to substance and precision over posturing and grandiosity.
Our clients view us as trusted business partners with a seat at the table.
We have expertise in a range of practice areas, in-depth industry experience,
and a strong commitment to serving our clients’ interests.
