Barton

Barton LLP is a boutique law firm founded by former partners of large law firms, providing business-minded legal representation to companies, private equity firms, investors, entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals across the United States. The firm's practice spans commercial litigation, arbitration, intellectual property, labor and employment, securities and corporate transactions, with commercial disputes handled at the highest level.

Working practices are organised around the firm's Better Law client service approach: an interpersonal, client-based method that prioritises early case assessment, strategic planning and budgeting aligned with each client's business goals. The model is intended as a progressive alternative to large firms, combining value-driven fee arrangements with a focus on quality and results.

Barton operates from three offices, in New York, Santa Monica, California, and Richmond, Virginia. The firm has been recognised by Chambers USA, Legal 500 and Law360 as a boutique capable of competing with the largest firms, and draws its lawyers from AmLaw 100 practices. Beyond client work, Barton supports community organisations including BUILD, NYCLA Pro Bono, Best Buddies and Covenant House.
