Learn about the firm →Practice Areas
Focused legal support across nine core areas that often overlap in sophisticated business matters.
Business Litigation Services & Fees
Business litigation is inherently unpredictable — no two disputes unfold the same way. Rather than a single flat fee for an entire case, we structure our engagements in phases, giving you cost certainty where possible and flexibility where the matter demands it.
Hourly Rates
Rates are based on attorney experience and case complexity.
| Attorney Level | Hourly Rate |
|---|---|
| Associate Attorney | $350 – $450/hr |
| Senior Associate / Of Counsel | $450 – $650/hr |
| Partner | $650 – $950/hr |
Rates are provided as a general guide. Final rates depend on case complexity, urgency, and scope, and are confirmed in your engagement letter.
