About the New York Legal Market
New York is the legal capital of the United States — home to the greatest concentration of law firms, financial institutions, and sophisticated legal matters in the world. The Southern District of New York and Eastern District of New York are two of the most active federal courts in the country, handling significant commercial litigation, white collar criminal matters, and securities enforcement actions. New York's distinct estate tax — with an exemption significantly lower than the federal threshold and a cliff effect that can cause substantial tax exposure — creates unique planning needs for high-net-worth residents. The city's concentration of finance, real estate, entertainment, and international business makes it one of the most complex and demanding legal markets in the world.
