Duval & Stachenfeld LLP (the "Firm") is a law firm based in New York City, with an office in Los Angeles that is committed to providing the highest level of service to a select clientele. Since the Firm's inception in October 1997, our goal has been nothing less than to build a law firm that is widely regarded as one of the premier law firms in the United States, with the ability to deliver exceptional legal services across a broad range of practice areas. We intend to achieve this goal by (1) bringing together top-level lawyers, (2) providing a helpful and supportive working environment for these lawyers, and (3) permitting these lawyers to provide superb legal service to high-quality clients. We have since grown to approximately 65 full-time employees (including 45 attorneys) and our practice areas now include corporate, real estate, litigation, bankruptcy and business reoganizations, distressed real estate,structured finance strategies, environmental (including project greenstorm™), tax exempt organizations, security systems, entertainment and media, and in-house counsel and CFO support services. We have established long-term relationships with a broad base of institutional and other clients by consistently providing them with better service and value than they would typically receive from a large law firm. Our ability to provide this service derives from the high quality of our lawyers and the commitment of these lawyers to the Firm and its clients. We are able to recruit and retain high-caliber attorneys by offering them opportunities to share in the success of the Firm and to build rewarding long-term careers with us. More importantly, the opportunity to share in our success creates a powerful incentive for each of our attorneys (associates as well as partners) to consistently exceed the expectations of the Firm's clients.
