Schwell Wimpfheimer & Associates

What Schwell Wimpfheimer & Associates does

Schwell Wimpfheimer & Associates LLP ("SWA") is a New York-headquartered boutique law firm founded in 2004, operating as a limited liability partnership with an additional office in Jerusalem (and a referenced Tel Aviv presence) and approximately 11 attorneys across Managing Partner, Partner, Counsel, and Associate levels. The firm delivers a broad legal-services portfolio spanning 20 practice areas — Corporate, M&A, Securities, Private Equity, Start-Ups, Financial Services, Commercial, Energy, Entertainment, IT, IP & E-Commerce, Defense & Aerospace, Labor & Employment, Litigation, Investment Funds, Real Estate, Tax, Corporate Tax, Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation, and Non-Profit & Tax-Exempt — but does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its product is attorney-led legal advice delivered via direct client engagement.

Its core commercial model is hourly and project-based professional-services billing under flexible arrangements, with revenue not publicly disclosed. The firm's go-to-market centers on cross-border US-Israel transactions, leveraging attorneys' pedigrees at major US law firms (Milbank, Proskauer, Greenberg Traurig, McDermott Will & Emery, Fried Frank) and Fortune 500 in-house roles (notably IDT Corporation and Genie Energy), supported by Chambers USA, IFLR1000, U.S. Legal 500, and American Lawyer recognition.

The firm serves a hybrid enterprise and growth-stage client base, including publicly traded Israeli foreign private issuers, multinationals, US and Israeli defense and aerospace companies, energy firms (e.g., IDT Energy, Israel Land Development Company – Energy), entertainment and content publishers (e.g., IDW Publishing, an unnamed brand-name publisher licensing to Disney/Amazon/Google/etc.), and a long tail of tech startups (e.g., Panoramic Power, MobileSpaces, Crosswise, Intellinx). The firm is co-led by Founder/Managing Partner Dov Schwell and Managing Partner Jan S. Wimpfheimer, with five Partners (Aronoff, Hughes, Kronenberg, Spitzer, plus Schwell/Wimpfheimer), five Counsel (Barr, Bernstein, Galkin, Gherman, Newman), and one Associate (Haberman).
