About Us
Who We Are
Lowenstein Sandler is a national law firm with over 350 lawyers working from five offices in New York, Palo Alto, New Jersey, Utah and Washington, D.C. We represent clients in virtually every sector of the global economy, with particular strength in the areas of technology, life sciences, and the financial management and fund industries that fuel economic growth.
We have built a reputation for pursuing every matter with creativity and passion. Our industry knowledge, entrepreneurial drive, and proven commitment to our communities deliver a different and better law firm experience to our clients. We focus on building long-standing relationships and anticipating our clients’ needs, rather than responding to them. Working side-by-side with our clients, we serve not only as lawyers, but as trusted advisors.
We approach each case, each client, and each other with integrity and respect, and our award winning pro-bono work enables us to connect individuals and communities with unimaginable success.
We see our colleagues as family and commit to the personal development, support, and mentorship of all those under our roof. We work tirelessly to create a fully inclusive environment in which differing views and perspectives are welcomed and honored.
