About

The Firm was founded in 1996 by Waddah El Chaer who believed that a law practice of the highest quality could be established in a creative and stimulating environment. The Firm’s lasting commitment to excellence has enabled us to maintain a level of practice equal to the largest and most renowned firms.

Two basic principles have guided the Firm throughout history. First and foremost, we are committed to providing our clients with legal services of the highest quality with the utmost integrity. To this end, we have consistently sought to associate only the best and most creative lawyers we can find. Second, to attract and retain our clients, we are committed to providing services on a cost-effective basis. Our commitment to both of these principles led us to reject the fast-growing, high-leverage law firm model, and to create a firm distinguished by its national reputation, its thriving and interesting practice, and the diverse backgrounds and success of its lawyers.

We have gained a sincere appreciation for how our clients do business and understand the value of being inventive and imaginative in our approach. Acting as trusted business advisors, our attorneys provide significant advice by understanding our clients’ business and legal issues. We recognize that every client, deal, and problem is unique. We care about their businesses, growth issues and bottom lines. By approaching each situation with an entrepreneurial spirit, we provide creative solutions that make a difference.

Client by client, we have built a reputation for high-quality work, a positive outlook, and the highest standards of service and ethics. Year after year, we continue to attract exceptional clients, challenging assignments, and outstanding lawyers.

Our continuing commitment is to remember where we came from and how we got here by being extremely accessible and responsive; by investing time to understand each client’s particular circumstances; and by focusing our talent and resources on results that work for our clients. This culture is the benchmark for our attorneys and staff.
