A full-service law firm based in New York and California
The Firm
Scoolidge Peters Russotti & Fox is a Chambers-ranked, full-service boutique law firm founded in the pursuit of a single goal: to provide top-quality, personalized advice to clients on their most difficult commercial and regulatory matters. Our lawyers have served clients from all over the world at the best international law firms, counseled presidential appointees at the most senior levels of government, founded businesses and advised on all manner of high-stakes financial transactions.
We are proud of what we have done; and of what we do, representing a sectorally diverse group of businesses from across the globe. With a focus on companies in emerging technology fields and new markets, we are at our best in conditions of high legal and regulatory uncertainty.
Whether advising on company-transforming asset sales, commercial agreements, regulatory compliance, intellectual property protection, or in litigation – where we recently defeated a $170 million class-certification bid – we solve our clients’ toughest problems.
