Job Description

LAW FIRM DESCRIPTION:

Brick & Patel LLP was founded in 2011 by two young partners who previously worked for large international firms and had developed a substantial local, national and international clientele.  The firm’s practice, based in Midtown Manhattan, involves representing high net worth individuals in various aspects of their lives (e.g. Wills, Trusts, Business Transactions, estate administration, etc.).  Because many of our clients are corporate executives, fund managers, or entrepreneurs, we also provide strategic advice regarding their businesses.  We feel a deep connection and responsibility to our clients and we strive to provide them with the highest level of services.  

We rely on technology, problem solving, and “thinking outside the box” to challenge the conventional wisdom associated with the practice of law and business in general.  We believe that each person working at Brick & Patel LLP is a key player and we leverage each team member’s unique talents.
