Brithem

Brithem LLP is a trial boutique founded in September 2025 by Michael Bowe and Lauren Tabaksblat, with headquarters at 565 Fifth Avenue in New York City. The firm focuses on complex, high-stakes disputes, covering commercial litigation, securities litigation, M&A disputes and trial advocacy. Its work centres on preparing cases for trial and delivering courtroom representation in matters where the outcome carries significant consequences for the client.

The firm has grown to 12 lawyers since its launch. In the year following its founding, Brithem was ranked in Chambers USA 2026 and recognised in the Legal 500 US. The founding partners have backgrounds as trial lawyers, and the practice is built around courtroom work rather than a broad transactional offering.

For lawyers considering the firm, Brithem describes a culture oriented towards bold and creative advocacy and a stated commitment to developing the next generation of trial lawyers. The firm offers mentoring and opportunities to advance as first-chair advocates, a notable consideration for litigators seeking early courtroom responsibility in a small team.
