Day Pitney LLP

What Day Pitney LLP does

Day Pitney LLP is a full-service law firm founded in 1906, operating as a New Jersey limited liability partnership with its principal offices in Parsippany, New Jersey, and 13 offices across the Northeast, Florida, Rhode Island, and Washington D.C. The firm fields 300+ attorneys serving two primary client segments: Corporate and Business Clients (corporations, private equity firms, hedge funds, financial institutions, developers, and business owners requiring transactional, litigation, employment, regulatory, and advisory services) and Private Clients and Families (high-net-worth individuals, families, business owners, entrepreneurs, and family offices requiring estate planning, wealth transfer, trust administration, and business succession). Practice areas span corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, securities, private equity, real estate, litigation, employment and labor, intellectual property, energy regulation, healthcare, data privacy, and tax.

The firm's offerings are organized as practice-area groups delivered through partner-led attorney-client relationships rather than as software products or technology platforms; there is no proprietary technology stack, API, or mobile application. Day Pitney extends its geographic reach through exclusive regional memberships in the Lex Mundi global network (New Jersey) and the Employment Law Alliance (Connecticut and New Jersey), enabling cross-border coverage without organic international build-out.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service legal representation billed on hourly, fixed-fee, or hybrid arrangements depending on matter type, complexity, and attorney seniority. The firm is privately held under partner governance, with no external institutional ownership, and does not publicly disclose revenue. Since spring 2023, the firm has executed a sustained expansion phase — adding 40 partners (21 lateral hires and 19 promotions) and concentrating growth in Boston, Florida, New Jersey, and Washington D.C. — and transitioned leadership in April 2026 with Michael P. Byrne succeeding Gregory A. Hayes as Managing Partner, with stated priorities including AI and emerging technology adoption.
