Pullman & Gotkin is a business law firm, serving as outside general counsel to corporate executives, business owners, entrepreneurs and others in both early stage and mature businesses. We recognize that developing an intimate knowledge of our clients’ businesses is essential to providing effective counsel. Accordingly, we are committed to investing the proper time, at our cost, to become conversant with the business and to deliver superior client service.

Our practice areas include contract drafting and negotiations, business purchases and sales, commercial financings, employment law, trademarks and intellectual property, real estate, food law, and business planning.

Prior to entering the private practice of law, the partners had over 40 years of combined experience as officers and in-house counsel to major business enterprises in diversified industries. They have also been active in organizing and investing in new businesses. Their practical, hands-on experience in actual business settings taught them to appreciate that every legal transaction contains underlying business objectives. Accordingly, the firm is well positioned to serve as a “deal maker” and provide creative solutions to meet client objectives.

Serving as a “legal navigator,” the firm’s philosophy is to promote pro-active business planning among its clientele. This preventive approach helps clients identify potential problems before they evolve into costly liabilities. It also benefits clients by positioning them to capture current market opportunities via strategic planning. Our preference is to assist the client in early strategic planning, rather than being forced to react to adverse situations after the fact. For this reason, we serve as a catalyst to encourage the client to take a long-term planning perspective toward the business.

The firm currently represents clients in the following industries:
