Work highlights

Blackletter is a specialist financial service law firm offering services shaped and build around clients’ needs.

Our goal is to continually innovate the client experience; consistently seek new ways to engage clients in an authentic, memorable and personal manner; and reshape and reinvent the practice of law.

We do not aim to be all things to all clients. Rather, we grow thoughtfully to provide the depth and breadth of services our clients need. To support our clients’ needs, we bring a lot of real-world smarts (not just book smart) and plenty of practical experience to the table.

Our practice areas cover art, banking and finance, capital markets, financial services regulation, FinTech, family offices and funds structuring, and tax.
