Leaders in New Jersey

New Jersey is our home field advantage.

Our New Jersey roots are at the foundation of the firm’s core assets across our various areas of practice — our network of business, legal and government connections in New Jersey is without rival. Our lawyers also 'give back' by sharing their time and expertise throughout the state. Many hold leadership positions in legal industry groups, bar associations, and business organizations.
