Priorities

Our first priority is excellent client service. At Haynes and Boone, we endeavor to understand your business needs, and to make your solutions our goal. We launched our New York office in 2004 in order to better serve our clients within various industries, including banking and finance, real estate, technology, aviation and energy and renewables, as well as to facilitate our cross-border work across Asia, Latin America and other global markets. Historically, lawyers across our firm have served the New York business and legal community for decades through their wide-ranging association with investment banks, financial institutions, investment funds and institutional clients.

Expansion

Haynes and Boone’s New York office has been busy. We are the most actively expanding office of the firm’s 12 U.S. and International locations. We are now even better equipped to support our clients’ changing needs, even as national and global economies are being transformed. The dedication to this growth reflects the firm’s commitment to our clients in the capital markets, banking and other industries.

The attorneys of our New York office have specialties primarily in the finance (general and real estate), bankruptcy/restructurings, corporate/securities and litigation practice areas. In 2010, we expanded our New York real estate finance, real estate leasing, restructuring and litigation groups through the addition of 20 new attorneys.
