White Shoe Law - the shoe fits
Holistic legal, business and multi-family office advisory services for business owners, entrepreneurs and their families.
We are built on five principles:
-
Our practice is built on a simple belief: the personal and professional lives of business owners are deeply connected — and great legal advice should reflect that. We deliver strategic, thoughtful counsel that protects what matters, unlocks opportunity, and evolves with you over time.
-
We are in it for the long run and see our clients as partners. We are trusted advisors, and we must have an intimate understanding of our clients and their business. This means earning trust, diving deep and always walking a mile in your shoes. This means we support our clients at every stage of the entrepreneurial journey, from the first steps of incorporation and capitalization, through the challenges of growth and operations, and ultimately to exit, succession, and legacy planning.
-
We are problem solvers, and to be effective at solving problems, we must have a wide lens, be open-minded and creative. We are client specialists, and our clients require us to guide them across disciplines. That means some problems aren’t legal ones and require a different approach. We leverage our networks to find you the right solution, advisor, advice, or technical knowledge.
-
Our solution is not your problem. While we are experts at helping our clients define and achieve their goals, we do not impose our goals on them. We are relentless in our pursuit of our client’s goals – this means we are critical of what and why of the advice we give.
-
Ultimately, we are loyal to our clients. We have both a professional and ethical obligation to client service. We are passionate about this, and we must set aside our egos, biases, and conflicts to relentlessly serve and pursue client goals.
"Blair has been a great partner to our growing office. For me, the difference has been Blair’s ability to provide us with solid legal advice and support, which seems rooted in an entrepreneurial or almost strategic mindset.”
