SHANKMAN, LEONE & WESTERMAN is a boutique firm specializing in complex litigation, franchise law, and labor and employment law.  We founded our firm upon our unwavering commitment to provide business clients with high quality and personalized legal counseling and representation in a responsive, efficient and cost effective manner.

Importantly, our personal attention and commitment to our clients creates efficiencies in the attorney-client relationship and the management of litigation. The relationships we enjoy with our clients enable us to quickly and thoroughly understand our clients’ business and objectives.  This understanding results in the efficient application of our clients’ resources to achieve those ends.

Throughout their careers, our partners successfully assisted clients in developing and implementing effective corporate policies and practices; strategies for negotiations; pre-litigation plans; and litigation, arbitration, and mediation strategies.

Although the Firm’s partners each enjoyed success at large, state and nationally recognized firms, we joined together to create a boutique environment that allows us the freedom and flexibility to provide our clients with substantial partner involvement in each matter at a fraction of the cost normally experienced with larger law firms. This freedom and flexibility allows us to work more closely with our clients and to help clients either avoid litigation or, where unavoidable, implement an expedient and cost efficient litigation plan and budget.
