A bit about us:

Our client is a well established Delaware law firm with a history stretching back more than 130 years. The firm is widely recognized as a leader in Delaware corporate and business law, with deep experience representing both public and private companies in high stakes corporate governance disputes, stockholder litigation, and complex business transactions.

The firm regularly serves as lead counsel in complex and expedited litigation before the Delaware Court of Chancery and other state courts, and its attorneys have argued and won landmark cases shaping the development of Delaware corporate law. While the firm handles matters on par with those of the nation's largest law firms, it maintains a moderate size, allowing every attorney to work closely and directly with clients rather than being buried within a large institutional hierarchy.

The firm's offices are located in a historic building in downtown Wilmington, within walking distance of the Delaware Court of Chancery, and it maintains international reach through affiliation with a global network of independent law firms.

Why join us?

Work on matters that matter. Attorneys here are regularly involved in some of the most significant and closely watched corporate litigation in the country, including disputes over mergers, stockholder rights, and fiduciary duties of officers and directors.

Real responsibility, real early. Because the firm is not oversized, attorneys get hands on experience and direct client contact much earlier in their careers than they typically would at a larger firm.

A legacy of influence. Many alumni of the firm have gone on to serve on the Delaware judiciary, including at the Delaware Supreme Court and Court of Chancery, and current attorneys are active in shaping the rules and practices that govern Delaware corporate law.

Collegial, not corporate. The firm's leadership takes a hands on, mentorship oriented approach, prioritizing the development of each attorney rather than treating associates as replaceable staff.

Stability with ambition. With over a century of continuous operation, the firm offers rare institutional stability while continuing to pursue sophisticated, cutting edge litigation work.
