Sophisticated technology links our team of just over 100 attorneys and almost 200 support personnel who strive to provide the most aggressive, cost-efficient and responsive representation using the significant technology and resources available to all offices. Known for its diversity and innovation, Sirote & Permutt, P.C. has steadily expanded to meet our clients' changing needs and encompasses nearly all aspects of legal representation. This broad practice is matched by the diversity of our clients, which include small emerging businesses, publicly traded companies, individuals, trusts, estates and charitable institutions. Our clients range from Fortune 500 and international companies — for which we serve as Alabama employment or litigation counsel — to family-owned franchises, from sophisticated real estate entrepreneurs to purchasers of first homes. Our firm includes registered patent attorneys with a broad range of experience-including computer hardware and software design, biotechnology, chemical arts, and e-commerce patent experience. Numbered among our clients are public utilities, securities underwriters, municipalities, pension plans, advanced technology firms, hospitals, physicians, inventors, financial institutions, insurers, retailers, manufacturers and trade associations. In addition to providing services for our clients, 20 of our attorneys across Alabama comprise one of the state's largest mediation practice groups. Over the last 6 years, their techniques have resulted in resolving over 95 percent of the more than 7,500 cases mediated. Our attorneys represent a broad spectrum of racial and ethnic backgrounds, and many have experience in industries to which the firm provides counsel. We strive to capitalize on the great diversity of our attorneys in providing effective and creative solutions to our clients' legal problems. Our firm strongly believes its attorneys should not only serve its clients, but the communities in which we live and work. Consequently, our lawyers have been participants in many of the most important legal, civic and political events which have positively shaped the communities we serve. | | Firm Size: 105 | Representative Clients:
