New York sets the pace for global business, a city where multi-billion-dollar transactions, cultural influence, and the disputes that shape entire industries all run through the same few square miles. It is also a city of neighborhoods, founders, and family businesses building something that lasts. Michael Best's New York office reflects both. We work alongside public companies, hedge funds and private equity sponsors, emerging ventures, and family-owned businesses, moving from a global deal one day to a start-up the next.
Our team is invested in the city itself, contributing through board service, pro bono work, and local partnerships that strengthen the communities we practice in. Whether negotiating a transaction or resolving a high-stakes dispute, we bring national resources together with the market insight that only comes from practicing in New York, helping the city's businesses and institutions thrive.
