Duval & Stachenfeld has determined to focus all of the Firm’s practices around our core expertise in real estate. Notably, we ... now have roughly 50 full-time real estate lawyers, which enable us to take pride in the fact that we now have one of the largest and most diverse real estate practices in New York City. Additionally, we have strong practices in litigation, tax, corporate, bankruptcy, and not-for-profit. We enhance all of these practice areas through the adjunct of the powerful Pure Play Real Estate practice. Our values and hedgehog principle are what makes us “us” and distinguishes us from other law firms. The Duval & Stachenfeld Hedgehog is a reminder to ourselves and to our clients that our firm has been successful because we genuinely care about our clients, attorneys, and administrative staff. We are committed to helping our clients build and protect their businesses. We believe that our clients simply love to have lawyers who not only do excellent legal work, but also work to help them build their businesses. This includes making critical connections, thinking of critical insights, and truly adding value to them in their most important goal; namely, being successful in the business world. On the litigation side, this means a commitment to not only winning litigation when it occurs, but also working with our clients to ensure that litigation does not occur in the first place, or if it does, our clients are well protected from adverse outcomes. Our mission is to “attract, train and retain talent”. We can only succeed if we attract talented lawyers to the Firm, train these lawyers exceptionally well, and make the Firm a place where these lawyers are happy and do not want to leave. We know that if we do this, then these lawyers will treat our clients exceptionally well. Discover more about D&S by visiting our website at www.dsllp.com. read more
