Law Firm Overview

The Lebrecht Group APLC is a corporate securities law firm with experienced attorneys in the fields of corporate and securities law. We have experience with every type of going public transaction, merger and acquisition transaction, private and public company financing transaction, and other related transactions, and we do them well. However, we do not practice other areas of law, such as litigation, trusts and estates, family law, etc.

This focus on one core practice area allows our attorneys to become knowledgeable and gain experience in a wide variety of corporate securities transactions. It also allows them to avoid the distractions caused by having to crossover to other areas of law that their firm may practice but where they may not be experienced because their firm needs them in that area. Although we don’t practice other areas of law we are still able to service your company’s other legal needs through our extensive network of attorneys and law firms that we can refer your other legal matters to when necessary.

The number one complaint clients have about their attorneys, other than cost, is lack of responsiveness. At The Lebrecht Group, we are keenly aware of this and take pride in our turnaround time for clients’ inquiries and projects. Many attorneys are helpless to do anything about this as they must cater to the highest paying clients of the firm. At our firm, not only do we agree that slow turnaround time is not acceptable, but we are in a position to do something about it. By carefully maintaining our client-to-attorney ratio and being in constant contact regarding our attorneys’ workloads we are able to address client questions timely, and finish projects on, or ahead of, schedule.
