Outside General Counsel Services

Newfield Puritsky LLP frequently serves as outside general and strategic counsel to clients in various industries including real estate, construction, and hospitality.

Newfield Puritsky LLP takes a synergistic approach to assisting our clients achieve their business goals and providing great added value instead of being a drain of resources. In so doing, Newfield Puritsky LLP builds trusted relationships with its corporate clients by developing a comprehensive understanding of their business, goals and policies.
