Whether it’s a “bet-the-company” case, a complicated financial transaction or a complex commercial matter, LSL lawyers have the experience and resources to achieve the results that best serve our clients. Our litigators are trial lawyers with well in excess of 300 jury trials, experience that enables them to consistently deliver successful verdicts, settlements and appeals for our clients. Equally important, our transactional lawyers know what it takes to close a deal and when to advise a client to walk away. Furthermore, our highly trained staff of certified paralegals and support personnel round out the team, helping to ensure that no client needs go unaddressed.
Our Approach
As a full service law firm we understand that exceptional service and strong client relationships are oftentimes just as important to the clients as results. In fact, over the years we have found that striving to provide the best possible service and committing to developing strong client relationships enhances overall results by allowing us to better anticipate and respond quickly to the needs of our clients. Placing an emphasis on service and relationships is therefore a top priority for every LSL employee.
