The Firm

Judgment, above all.

Clients do not retain us for boilerplate. They retain us for judgment — the kind that is earned slowly and applied precisely. We are deliberately small, deliberately senior, and deliberate in everything else.

About the Firm

What We Do

Six practices. One standard.

Corporate & Private Enterprise

Formation to succession, for founders who intend to keep what they build.

Complex Litigation & Appeals

We try cases rarely and win them regularly. Most disputes end at our first brief.

Trusts, Estates & Generational Planning

Structures designed to outlive their drafters. Every generation, since the founding.

Read more →

Intellectual Property & Media

Authors, inventors, and the occasional polymath — in every medium yet invented.

Water & Natural Resource Rights

Few assets are more contested or less understood. We grok water law.

Read more →

Aerospace & Frontier Commerce

Launch services, lunar mineral claims, long-haul ventures. Our contracts hold.
