Cavanaugh & Mitchell, based in New York City, provides its clients with a broad spectrum of legal and business services in support of their global businesses. Clients range from individual executives, entrepreneurs and creative talent to major multi-national companies. We have extensive experience in successfully representing both U.S.-based and non-U.S. clients doing business internationally. As a result, we are particularly skilled in counseling clients operating across countries and cultures and adept at bridging the cultural and communication gaps that all too often complicate international business and legal relationships.

Our role as outside general counsel is one of the services most valued by our clients, who trust us to know their industries and their individual business policies and goals. In that regard, we regularly advise clients through all phases of establishing and expanding their U.S. businesses, as well as counseling them on their on-going operations, which can include corporate structuring and strategic relationships, negotiating relevant agreements, required regulatory compliance, employment, real estate and immigration.

Two groups of individual clients particularly trust us to advise and guide them: founders and executives, and creatives. They value our personalized approach to representation because they know that we understand their unique perspectives and needs.

Our expertise and experience in intellectual property and the fashion and luxury industries is extensive. This is the result of many years of representing a vast array of clients across many sectors, including major celebrities, designers and global brands.

We tailor our advice and representation to each client’s specific needs and requirements, drawing upon the principals’ wide-ranging knowledge and our extensive international network of attorneys, consultants and advisors. All matters are treated in the context of the client’s unique business goals and culture.
