What Ross Law Group does

The firm delivers five integrated service lines—public securities offerings, venture capital, investment funds, corporate law, and tax—targeting small- and mid-cap companies, investment managers, underwriters, and equity investment platforms in the global capital markets ecosystem. It has acted as primary fund formation counsel for AngelList since 2015 and has represented clients on Reg A+, Reg CF, Reg D, and SAFE financings, including Republic, Bitgreen, Robot Cache, Block26, Savannah Fund, and Speevr. Its practice includes established partner relationships with offshore law firms in major tax havens, enabling cross-border structuring for master-feeder funds and SPVs.

The firm operates with a 7-person team (2 Partners, 2 Counsel including a Tax Counsel, 2 Associates, and 1 Office Manager) out of a single office at 1430 Broadway, New York. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging referrals, professional networking, conference participation, and individual thought leadership—partner Gary J. Ross serves as Planning Co-Chair and faculty of the American Legal Institute's annual CLE conference on Regulation D Offerings and Private Placements (2024, 2025), and co-presented a Lawline program on parallel funds in December 2024. Revenue is generated via fee-for-service professional-services billing; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

On September 4, 2025, Ross Law Group was acquired by McCarter & English, a larger full-service law firm, ending its independent operations and integrating its corporate/securities practice and international client base into the acquirer.
