Hyland Levin Shapiro

What Hyland Levin Shapiro does

Hyland Levin Shapiro LLP is a private, partner-owned regional law firm headquartered in Marlton, New Jersey, providing comprehensive legal services across five practice areas: Business Law (corporate transactions, M&A, franchise/distribution, food and beverage regulation), Employment Law (litigation, counseling, non-compete/trade secret work), Litigation (commercial, construction, real estate, franchise terminations, appellate), Real Estate (transactional, zoning and land use, environmental, multifamily, leasing, eminent domain, property tax, community associations), and Succession Planning/Trusts & Estates (estate planning, administration, business planning, trust litigation). The firm serves enterprise and mid-market clients including private equity real estate investors (notably Pantzer for Fund VI deployment), healthcare systems (Virtua Mount Holly Hospital), food and beverage manufacturers, and community associations across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the broader East Coast. The firm was founded by attorneys who left large law firms to pursue a collaborative, client-focused model, with approximately 25 named attorneys and support staff across practice groups.

The firm generates revenue through traditional professional services billing — hourly attorney rates and fixed fees for specific legal matters, including litigation, transactions, and ongoing outside general counsel relationships. Pricing is matter-specific and negotiated at engagement. Distribution is purely direct through attorney-client engagements, with marketing conducted primarily via the firm's WordPress website, professional and referral networks, and bar association involvement. The firm employs standard legal practice management, document management, and case management systems and has no proprietary technology, no public API, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Notable outcomes include a $26 million New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act judgment affirmed on appeal, $1.2+ billion in real estate equity deployed across 26 multifamily transactions in 6 states, and regulatory approval for a 137,000-square-foot hospital patient tower expansion.
