LARGE Firm Service small firm Attention

Littman Krooks LLP was established in October 1990 and has grown from its initial two lawyers to a diversified practice with offices located in New York City, Westchester, and our new office in Dutchess County, New York. From these offices, Littman Krooks LLP is able to service the greater New York Area including Manhattan and Westchester County. From its inception, Littman Krooks LLP has taken pride in its ability to provide sophisticated legal advice typically associated with the larger New York City law firms while maintaining its smaller firm focus on the needs and desires of its individual clients.

While we offer a full range of legal services to a wide spectrum of clients, our core practice areas are New York Elder Law, New York Estate Planning, Special Needs Plannings, and Corporate and Securities Law.

Corporate and Securities Law. Since its inception in October 1990, Littman Krooks LLP has specialized in counseling underwriters, issuers, placement agents, public companies, private investment partnerships and private investors in a wide variety of financing transactions. We also represent clients in mergers and acquisitions, contract negotiations and provide a full complement of legal services to our client companies and their principals.

  • Initial public offerings (IPO) and secondary offerings;
  • Private placements, including PIPE offerings;
  • Special Purpose Acquisition Corporations (SPAC);
  • Reverse Mergers; and
  • Hedge Funds and Venture Capital Partnerships.

Notably, our New York corporate and securities lawyers have significant experience in broker-dealer and investment banking services, and represent several financial institutions and securities broker-dealers in connection with compliance reporting, registration and other requirements under federal and state securities laws.
