Lumia

What Lumia does

Lumia is a boutique law firm specializing in corporate, securities, and art law, founded on Wall Street and headquartered in New York with a secondary office in Paris. The firm serves three primary client segments: early-stage companies requiring entity structuring and capital-raising support, investment funds needing fund formation, SPV structuring, and regulatory filings, and artists and creative principals operating at the intersection of culture and capital. Service offerings span entity formation (incorporation, SPV, fund, and trust formation), public offerings and SEC regulatory work (ADV, Reg A, Reg CF, Reg D, Reg S), fundraising advisory, art advisory, and corporate documentation including intellectual property matters such as trademark filing.

The firm operates on a hybrid revenue model combining hourly billing ($300-$800 per hour depending on attorney experience), fixed-fee arrangements for defined services (with caps on items such as fund formation at $20,000-$100,000 and seed-round fundraising capped at $15,000), and subscription or fractional support for qualifying clients with recurring matters. Initial consultations are offered at $250 per hour or $150 for 30 minutes as a sales touchpoint. Lumia is recognized by Chambers and Partners in the New York Spotlight Guides for 2025 and 2026 as a top boutique firm providing quality comparable to international firms.

Distribution is anchored in a fully remote service model enabling global reach without geographic constraints, supplemented by thought leadership through the firm's core content partnership with Grey Journal, conference speaking, startup community partnerships, and an email newsletter. The firm describes AI-powered efficiency in routine matters as a tool to reduce billable time and support competitive pricing, though no proprietary AI technology, patents, or named AI systems are disclosed. Headcount stands at 12 total employees, and the firm is privately held with no disclosed parent company, funding rounds, or institutional investors.
