What Pryor Cashman LLP does

Pryor Cashman LLP is a privately held, independent midsize law firm founded in 1957 and headquartered at 7 Times Square in New York City, with additional offices in Miami and Los Angeles. The firm operates a full-service legal platform organized around major practice groups - Corporate, Litigation, Intellectual Property, Media + Entertainment, Real Estate, Financial Services, Tax, Labor + Employment, Family Law, Bankruptcy/Reorganization, Immigration, Insurance Recovery, Data Privacy + Cybersecurity, and Private Client - and serves a globally distributed client base that spans enterprises, institutions, and high-net-worth individuals. It has consistently been named a top Midsize Firm in New York by Vault from 2019 through 2025 and earned 2026 recognition across Chambers & Partners, Legal 500 (eight practices ranked), Best Lawyers (53 attorneys), Lawdragon, and Forbes.

The firm generates revenue exclusively through professional services fees, billed on hourly or alternative fee arrangements across practice areas, with no disclosed technology product line. Distribution is direct: senior attorneys engage clients across the three offices, supported by a Chief Marketing + Business Development Officer, active thought-leadership publications, events, and analyst recognition that drive inbound referrals. The firm is led by Managing Partner David C. Rose and an Executive Committee that includes Founding Partner Gideon Cashman, alongside a C-suite comprising a COO, CIO, CMO/BDO, and CFO. Recent strategic activity is centered on lateral partner hiring in high-value niches (copyright/litigation, international tax, labor/employment) and the creation of a Director of Government Affairs role, with no external investment, M&A, or public funding events disclosed.
