SRD Legal

What SRD Legal does

SRD Legal Group is a fully women-owned and managed virtual law firm operating as a New York-headquartered LLP (Scanlon Rabinowitz & Davis Legal Group, LLP), founded in 2015 by Suzie Scanlon Rabinowitz. The firm delivers corporate legal services across ten practice areas including Mergers and Acquisitions, Private Equity, Outsourced General Counsel, Intellectual Property Licensing, Marketing Compliance, Technology Transactions, Real Estate, Finance/E-commerce/Derivative Transactions, Start-Up Financing, and Legal Process Management. Its client base spans Fortune 500 companies, late-stage startups, private equity firms, investment banks, and insurance companies across financial services, technology, healthcare, internet, software, publishing, transportation, and other verticals.

The firm's core differentiator is its virtual operating model, which combines highly credentialed attorneys (drawn from senior practitioners, military spouses, and women returning to the workforce, with alumni pedigree including Goldman Sachs, Sullivan & Cromwell, and Wachtell Lipton) with a customizable cloud-based platform and online process management. This architecture enables real-time workflow tracking, reporting, and analytics while eliminating physical office overhead. Services are delivered virtually, allowing the firm to operate globally from a single New York headquarters.

Commercially, SRD employs alternative fee arrangements including caps, flat fees, and volume discounts on a sliding scale, with multi-year contracts. Pricing is positioned below traditional market rates due to the elimination of office overhead. The go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales targeting Fortune 500 and PE/investment bank buyers, complemented by thought leadership (Forbes, Law360, Authority Magazine features), professional affiliations (NAMWOLF, WBENC, MSJDN, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses), and certification-driven procurement access. The firm holds WBENC women's business enterprise certification, NAMWOLF membership, Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating, and the 2023 NAMWOLF Emery K. Harlan Trailblazer Award.
