Our team

The attorneys who will work on your case. No bait and switch.

We're upfront about who handles what. You'll meet your attorney before any work begins — and they'll stay on your case from start to finish.

How we work

One attorney. Your attorney.

Direct contact

Call your attorney’s direct line, not an intake call center or a junior assistant.

No billing for handoffs

We don’t charge you for internal briefings or passing information between levels of hierarchy.

Case history

Your attorney consistently carries key nuances throughout the process.

Honest updates

Real-time clarity on your case status without waiting for weekly partner reviews.

How we think about the work

We tell you what we'd do

Not just what the law says. You're paying for judgment, not a summary of statutes.

We keep it moving

Legal matters that drag on are expensive and stressful. We push for resolution at every stage.

We know when to refer out

If your case needs a specialist we're not, we'll say so and help you find the right person.

Partner

Base

"What I didn't expect was how much they actually listened before saying anything. Most attorneys start talking strategy before you've finished the sentence. These ones wait."

Daniel Moss

CEO

•

Artemis

"I called three firms before calling Cavell. The others quoted me and passed me off to a paralegal. Here I spoke to the attorney in the first five minutes."

Richard Okafor

Founder

•

Question

"I'd been putting off updating my business contracts for two years because every firm I approached made it feel complicated. Cavell made it feel like a Tuesday afternoon. Done in three weeks."

Natalie Cruz

Co-Founder

•

Shape

"I was going through a business partnership dissolution and it was genuinely one of the harder things I've been through. They handled the legal side without making a difficult situation worse. That mattered more than I expected."

James Restrepo

Owner

•

Atlas

"We had a contract dispute that I was convinced was going to drag on for a year. They found an angle in the first review I hadn't considered. Six weeks later it was settled."

Sofia Andersen

Creative Director

•

Orion

"I needed someone who could explain things without making me feel like I should have gone to law school first. That's exactly what I got. I understood every step of my own case."
