Herzfeld & Rubin, P.C.

What Herzfeld & Rubin, P.C. does

Herzfeld & Rubin, P.C. is a full-service, internationally-recognized law firm headquartered at 17 State Street in Manhattan's Financial District, with 101-250 employees and more than 70 years of continuous operation since its founding around 1948-1950. The firm organizes its practice into ten areas: Alternative Dispute Resolution, Appellate Law, Class Actions + Mass Torts, Commercial Litigation, Corporate + Business Law, Insurance Coverage, International Law + Transactions, Real Estate, Tort Defense, and Toxic Torts. Its client base spans Fortune 500 and multinational enterprises across consumer products, beverage, automotive, pharmaceutical, defense, and technology sectors, foreign governments (notably the Government of Romania and its ministries, plus the Bucharest Stock Exchange), European fashion/luxury retailers, insurance carriers, and individuals.

The firm generates revenue through traditional professional services fees, including hourly billing, fixed fees for defined engagements, and contingency arrangements where applicable; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated case-by-case through direct attorney-client relationships. Its go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven, built on 70+ years of attorney credentials, professional referrals, and long-standing client relationships, with no proprietary technology platform, software products, or AI capabilities disclosed. Distribution is exclusively through direct client engagement rather than through partner channels or self-service platforms.

The firm's competitive positioning rests on talent density (Harvard Law School alumni, ICSID panel arbitrators, Super Lawyer and Martindale-Hubbell AV-rated attorneys, law school professors) and on a specialized international practice focused on Central and Eastern European emerging markets, anchored by an affiliated Romanian entity (Rubin Meyer Doru & Trandafir SCPA, established 1990) and deep relationships with European enterprises entering the US market. There is no evidence of external institutional ownership; the firm is privately held by its practicing members under professional corporation governance, with Wendy L. Prince as Managing Member and Mark A. Meyer on the Board of Directors.
