Our philosophy
We understand that it is our business to litigate not yours.

In the event litigation is unavoidable, and often it is, then we formulate and implement strategies to effectively and efficiently conclude it. It is our goal to keep our clients long term, not to exacerbate situations to generate more work short term.
With that in mind we also recognize that law is a service industry and we strive to provide you with the best service possible. We will make ourselves available and accessible to you, keep you informed and always provide you with practical advice. Our approach is simple, you are hiring us to provide a service for you, which is a fact we never overlook.

Mr. Rothburd assisted me with a complicated exit from my company in a professional and efficient manner.
"Mr. Rothburd is fair and even-keeled in all respects. Often times as attorneys we find ourselves in vehement disagreement with the attorney(s) on the other side. It is how well we adhere to standards of professionalism in those moments which ends up defining our practice. Because of that, I want to recognize Mr. Rothburd for continuing to adhere to those standards in all of our dealings, no matter how strongly we may disagree."
"I have known Mr. Rothburd for approximately fourteen years and have had the privilege of working with him on numerous matters over that period of time. From that experience I can state that Mr. Rothburd's competence and intuition in business and related litigation matters are matched only by his uncompromising adherence to the highest ethical standards. I highly recommend Mr. Rothburd for all matters of commercial litigation and business tort litigation."
