Big Firm Expertise. Boutique Firm Accessibility.
O&B's professional and business philosophy is hinged on three simple concepts that we feel to be at the heart of our practice (and which are irrevocably linked):
- Developing long-term relationships with our clients
- Applying creative legal solutions gleaned from our intimate relationship with you
- And Providing long-term value by watching your bottom line
Because the cases we handle can be protracted and complex, we've worked hard to create a business model that maximizes value for our clients over time. This means not only striving to become the most competent professionals possible for the sake of your legal issues but also working hard to understand you both personally and professionally. In this way, we can act as an extension of your business in any capacity from commercial litigation to lobbying key government officials on your behalf.
The first step toward this unique client engagement is developing trust that goes beyond our professional counsel and extends into our own business process. By establishing real trust in both the way we practice law--and business--we provide clients with the means and method to apply the creative solutions mentioned above. In other words, we are affordable and ultimately accessible enough to implement truly creative legal strategies--especially in these economic times.
At O&B, we understand that our recent economic recession has profoundly altered the legal world from aggressively downsizing to widespread restructuring in the way firms approach client relationships. Ohrenstein & Brown has weathered this sea-change better than most. As a boutique firm focused on three primary legal specialties, we are agile enough to minimize overhead in a way that allows our clients to pay for our big firm expertise, not a Manhattan address or redundant support staff. This is what makes us truly unique and why we have been a fixture in the New York legal arena for close to three decades.
“We bring to our practice a combination of big-firm discipline and experience and small-firm economics and efficiency."
