Larry A. Schechtman

As a founding member of the firm and managing partner emeritus, Larry opened the firm’s doors in 1997 and has continued to play a key role in its growth from 50 lawyers to now more than 240. This broad institutional knowledge provided the critical foundation needed to lead the firm to future growth and continued evolution.

Larry was instrumental in supporting the development of our Committee for Diversity and Inclusion and the firm’s women’s initiative whose missions are to recruit, mentor and retain a culturally rich, collaborative and inclusive working environment. As the leader of the firm’s executive committee, Larry ensured that the firm carried out its strategic vision to earn the trust of our growing client base, attract new legal talent and became trusted advisors for business leaders.

Larry spent more than 40 years litigating complex commercial issues in state and federal courts. He had an exceptional success rate in the courtroom, trying in excess of 100 cases to jury verdict in a wide variety of areas over the course of his career. Plaintiff’s attorneys were never happy to meet Larry in the courtroom. Larry’s reputation has been shaped by many significant victories and he is well respected by his peers, staff and clients.
