Schlam Stone & Dolan LLP

What Schlam Stone & Dolan LLP does

Schlam Stone & Dolan LLP is a New York-based boutique law firm founded in 1986 and headquartered at 26 Broadway, New York, NY. The firm represents businesses, non-profits, and individuals in complex litigation and corporate matters through four integrated practice areas: White-Collar Criminal Defense & Investigations, Civil Litigation, Corporate Counseling & Transactions, and Appeals. Its lawyers are drawn from top-tier law firms and prosecutors' offices, with named partners including former Assistant U.S. Attorneys (Bradley D. Simon, formerly with the Eastern District of New York and the U.S. Department of Justice Criminal Division) and former leaders of predecessor firms. The firm also maintains a cross-border corporate, tax, IP, and trusts/estates capability centered on U.S.–Switzerland/Europe matters through counsel Karen Monroe, past President of the Foreign Lawyers Section of the Geneva Bar Association.

The firm operates on a traditional professional services revenue model, billing clients on legal representation matters with no publicly disclosed pricing. Client acquisition is sales-led and driven by professional reputation, referrals, content marketing (four active legal blogs, time-sensitive legal alerts, webinars and seminars), and earned media (Law360, Bloomberg News). The firm has received sustained third-party recognition, including U.S. News Best Law Firms (2022 and 2024), Chambers Spotlight New York (2024), Best Lawyers (2022), and Super Lawyers (2021), and recently celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2026.

The firm employs between 11 and 50 people, operates as a privately held limited liability partnership with traditional partner-ownership, and has no disclosed parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or external investors. Its competitive positioning is built on offering deep expertise comparable to large law firms while avoiding the cost and inefficiency overhead typically associated with them — a positioning it has maintained across four decades in the New York market.
