Reitler Kailas & Rosenblatt

What Reitler Kailas & Rosenblatt does

Reitler Kailas & Rosenblatt LLP is a New York-headquartered venture capital law firm founded in 1995, providing full-service legal representation to startups, emerging companies, and venture capital investors across the US and internationally. The firm operates as an LLP with 51-100 employees and concentrates its practice around venture capital transactions, corporate governance, and emerging-company matters. Core offerings include direct legal representation (the primary revenue-generating product) plus ancillary modules: "The Review" (thought-leadership publication), "VCs on Tees" (VC-focused service platform), and a Legal Tech Practice launched in November 2025 that extends the firm into the legal-technology vertical.

The firm's go-to-market is built on direct attorney engagement with enterprise and startup clients, supplemented by partner-led referrals and visibility through external recognitions including Chambers and Partners (2024, Startups and Emerging Companies), Pitchbook Top 10 Venture Capital Deal Activity rankings (Q3 2024 and 2026), and 15 attorneys named to the 2024 New York Metro Super Lawyers Rising Stars list. Business model follows traditional professional services billing — pricing is not publicly disclosed and revenue is not reported publicly. Customer mix spans early-stage startups (e.g., EliseAI) and high-profile entertainment and corporate matters (e.g., representation of Kendrick Lamar), indicating a deliberately diversified client roster across industries and engagement sizes within the VC ecosystem.
