Schulman Blackwell LLP is a New York-based law firm that focuses on serving your business needs.   We strive to be a firm of first choice for clients seeking sophisticated, high-value legal services.

While Schulman Blackwell offers an extensive range of legal services across numerous industries, our core areas of practice are litigation and arbitration, bankruptcy/creditors rights, general corporate, transactional matters, employment law,  securities law, broker/dealer compliance, and intellectual property.

Our clients include public and private companies, as well as a number of individuals.

Schulman Blackwell has a uniquely flexible and entrepreneurial culture that fosters relationships with our clients.  We offer clients the option to utilize non-traditional fee arrangements—including fixed fee and contingency.

We understand our clients’ business objectives, and employ judgment and creativity to address their legal needs consistent with their objectives and directives.   Every day we earn our reputation as trusted business advisors; we prove our value by the successful results we achieve.

A Special Note on Fee Arrangements

One of the reasons we started Schulman Blackwell was to be able to offer clients the opportunity to select flexible alternative fee arrangements.  We have seen the many flaws of the traditional by-the-hour billing system, and we want to provide clients with the option to select alternatives.

If you are interested in other than traditional by-the-hour billing, we have entered into alternative arrangements with clients, ranging from fixed monthly fees to contingency fees.   We will do everything possible to best meet your needs.
