•
A decidedly counterintuitive firm, Sachnoff & Weaver possesses a demonstrated ability to handle sophisticated, complex matters that address clients’ legal needs in a discrete array of practice areas. We will never be known as a jack-of-all-trades firm because we “master” those areas in which we specialize.
•
Sachnoff & Weaver’s attorneys take pride in their roles as trusted advisors to the firm’s clients, who enjoy ongoing access to senior-level attorneys. Whether the desired result is to help a growing business or resolve a dispute, our staffing practices tangibly demonstrate how we place our clients’ needs ahead of our own.
•
Our business services attorneys are recognized for their entrepreneurial spirit and ability to understand both their clients’ businesses and their goals, efficiently translating that knowledge into effective, practical legal counsel.
•
Sachnoff & Weaver’s litigators are routinely entrusted with bet-the-company cases because of their ability to both understand complicated matters and offer bench strength on both sides of the “v” that guarantees successful outcomes.
•
When required by individual client situations, our interdisciplinary practice teams enable Sachnoff & Weaver to effectively leverage a wealth of human and intellectual resources when they’re needed most.
•
The firm’s open, democratic culture is further enhanced by a teamwork philosophy and a commitment to remain independent and centralized in a single location. Our attorneys practice law across the hall from one another, not across the country.
•
Our humanistic approach causes Sachnoff & Weaver to be sought out by clients, new associates and laterals alike. With relationships spanning more than 20 years, we are a firm that clients want working for them and one for which attorneys want, and like, to work.
•
We take a measured approach to growth, expanding resources only when our clients’ work necessitates such action.
