Lum Danzis Drasco Positan

What Lum Danzis Drasco Positan does

Lum, Drasco & Positan is a full-service law firm headquartered in Roseland, New Jersey, tracing its origins to the founding of Guild & Lum in Newark, NJ in 1870. The firm maintains approximately 17 attorneys across 51-100 total headcount and serves a clientele spanning closely held businesses, Fortune 500 corporations, government and public-sector entities, and high-net-worth individuals in New Jersey and New York. Practice coverage is unusually broad for a mid-size firm, encompassing labor and employment, commercial and business litigation, construction and surety, real estate and land use, tax, estate planning, family law, personal injury, medical malpractice, governmental law, environmental law, and alternative dispute resolution.

The firm operates as a traditional professional services partnership with no proprietary technology platform. Revenue is generated through hourly and engagement-based billing on legal matters, with no publicly disclosed pricing or revenue figures. Go-to-market is referral-driven and reputation-led, supported by attorney thought leadership (bar association leadership, CLE instruction, publications) and longstanding client relationships rather than active sales motion. The firm holds Tier 1 rankings in Best Lawyers/US News, perennial Chambers USA listings, and is an Executive Committee member of The Legal Netlink Alliance, a global referral network for medium-sized law firms.

As of March 1, 2026, Lum, Drasco & Positan LLC merged into Javerbaum Wurgaft Hicks Kahn Wikstrom & Sinins, P.C., ending its 155-year independent operating history. The firm's website now redirects to the combined entity's domain, indicating a full consolidation rather than a branding arrangement. No venture capital, private equity, or external institutional ownership was identified at any point during the firm's independent operation; ownership was held by equity partners.
