I bring over 20 years experience in high stakes transactions and litigation to the service of small and medium-sized businesses, non-profit corporations and individuals. I spent the first part of my career with top corporate law firms, Cravath, Swaine & Moore, Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, where I became a partner. My clients were corporations and investment banks -- such as Air France, Huaneng Power, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and HSBC -- who demanded that their attorneys walk through walls to win a case or close a deal. I aim to bring the same dedication, experience, aggressive and top-tier representation to individuals, small and medium-sizes businesses, and non-profit organizations in high stakes matters, at a cost significantly below the prohibitive rates charged by AmLaw 100 firms.

Eden Quainton is a thoughtful and experienced lawyer. He knows his way around all sorts of topics, and is clear, concise, and goes right to the heart of the matter. I have found him to be fair in his billing, and he doesn't waste his client's time or money. Though his approach is personable, he comma...

I worked with Eden on a litigation matter. He is smart, thinking through strategic options and the pros and cons of each and impressively responsive.

Mr. Quainton was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He helped to guide me, a self-proclaimed legal novice through every step of my case. Eden was super responsive, timely, and most importantly, I felt truly had my best interests in mind. I would highly recommend working with him!

Eden represented us in the breach of contract lawsuit. Eden always has clients' BEST interest at heart. Given this was our first suit, we did not know much about the legal process.

My company had to file a lawsuit against a delinquent client that procured services and did not pay. I was referred to Eden by a friend and from the beginning Eden was responsive, friendly, thorough, asked good questions and stayed on course with our case until we were able to collect from the clien...
"Eden’s mix of expertise in both corporate and litigation makes him one of the most effective attorneys I know. He has a good sense of making sure anything that can cause problems later is addressed, and having been on the other side of the table from him, I can vouch that he is an effective advocate for his clients. I would say Eden has forgotten more law than most of us will ever know, except I haven’t yet encountered an instance of his having forgotten something. He is a premier attorney, for both corporate and litigation."
