The FirmFor nearly 100 years we have earned the trust of our clients by helping them succeed in their business and personal lives in New Jersey. While we serve large regional and national clients doing business in New Jersey, we have a mid-market business focus. Although many law firms in New Jersey have expanded through mergers, we have grown organically and we have developed with our clients. As a result, we have never lost interest in helping entrepreneurial ventures succeed. Our enduring client relationships spring from our commitment to working with clients with our sleeves rolled up. We are sensitive to each client's specific circumstances, goals and requirements, and the need to be responsive and innovative. We have handled some of the very largest business and real estate transactions in the state. Likewise, our Litigation Department has handled major cases for New Jersey, regional and national clients, in state and federal courts, before administrative and regulatory agencies, and arbitrators and mediators. We also represent individuals in tax and estate planning and family law matters.Outside of the office, our lawyers are known for their involvement in their communities and volunteer organizations, as well as leadership within the profession and in civic and business associations. The firm is a trusted name in government relations. | | Firm Size: 104 |
