Innovation and collaboration from day one
Attorney William Rose was only 21 when he started the firm that is now Proskauer Rose. The year was 1875, and although the world has been transformed since then, the values that Rose championed – hard work, mutual respect, cooperation, dedication to client service and integrity – echo throughout our Firm today.
As a result, we are honored to work with some of the most innovative, industry-redefining companies, which are changing how business is conducted. Our approach is not simply to represent our clients but to understand their businesses and to know their industries. We do this so we are not presenting legal advice in a vacuum but rather with the understanding of how it will affect their bottom line. When they grow, we grow.
Over the years we have steadily built our practices and expanded to key markets. As the business world evolves, so does our Firm. One example of this is our work with asset managers. It's an ever-changing field that we have served for decades, embracing challenges and expanding in direct proportion to our clients' success and growth.
Another example of our evolution is sports law – a practice we practically invented. We’ve been named the #1 sports practice in the nation and are consistently ranked in the #1 tier by the leading legal guides. Why have we become so successful? One reason is the strong collaboration among talented lawyers across our firm. Sports law combines myriad areas of the law, including finance, litigation, M&A, labor, tax, media, licensing, antitrust and intellectual property, among many other areas.
