Part of the answer is that
we provide clients with a tremendous diversity of top-quality legal
expertise, and do so at an exceptionally fair price. Each of our
practice areas is staffed by lawyers with impeccable credentials
and many years of success. The prodigious experience that we offer
fuels the Firm's emphasis on efficiency, which coupled with the
relatively low overhead in our operations, produces highly
competitive rates for our clients.
The rest of the answer is
where the real value is added. Our lawyers are people who can form,
develop and maintain solid business relationships. We listen; we
make every effort to understand our clients' concerns and
objectives. We aggressively protect and zealously pursue our
clients' interests, bringing all appropriate resources to bear. We
craft practical and innovative solutions to complex problems. In the
end, we believe that relationships are based upon results.
SFNR features dedicated
professionals who study both our clients' industries and their
competition. We demonstrate the value we attach to our client
relationships by keeping clients fully informed, while also
respecting the preciousness of time and business resources.
The Firm targets its
diverse services to the small and mid-sized business community. We
facilitate the buying, selling and public and private funding of
large, publically traded companies. We prosecute and defend
commercial, business and employment disputes in the federal and
state trial and appellate courts, and in a host of alternative
dispute resolution venues. We represent real estate clients on
contracts, leasing, and planning and development issues. We counsel
our many individual clients on matters involving tax, estate
planning and probate, and the transfer of wealth and business
interests. And we have a special relationship with trade
associations and independent sales representative firms, a product
of our long-established commitment to these industries.
We achieve results in no
small part because SFNR lawyers practice together, in an unusually
collegial and respectful environment, toward the common goal of
furthering the client relationships that have always made the Firm
successful. We remain business-focused in our practice, and strive
to eliminate surprise and uncertainty in an increasingly uncertain
economic environment.
When the Firm was
established, it was our founders' goal to develop
long-lasting client relationships based on trust, communication,
responsiveness, and the delivery of high-quality legal counsel. These traditional imperatives are now deeply
ingrained in the fabric of the Firm, and our commitment to building
and enriching these relationships continues unabated.
