The firm
Counsel who stand between you and the worst outcome.
Apex has represented individuals, families and businesses across New York since 1994 — in the boardroom, at the negotiating table and in court.
Talk to a partner
Since 1994
A firm built by people who would not settle for the easy answer.
Apex opened with three attorneys, one conference room on Fifth Avenue and a rule that has not changed since: the client hears the honest assessment first, even when the honest assessment costs us the instruction.
Thirty years on we are forty-one people across eleven practice areas, and the rule still decides how every matter is run.

What we hold to
Three things a client can count on.
01
The straight assessment
You hear what we actually think your position is worth in the first meeting, not in month eight when the costs have already run.
02
A price agreed in writing
Scope, fee basis and the outcomes we consider realistic are signed before work begins. Nothing is billed outside that letter.
03
The partner who pitched it
The attorney who takes your first call is the one who runs the matter. We do not sell one team and staff another.
Instructing us takes one conversation.
No intake form, no triage queue, no assistant deciding whether your matter is worth a partner's afternoon. Call the office and you speak to an attorney the same week.
