Legal services can sometimes be frustrating -- our clients expressed concern with what they viewed as limited choices:

• Large firms … which often means paying exorbitant rates to subsidize high overhead;
• Small firms … which means a small footprint and sometimes less expertise than a large firm; or
• In-house attorneys … which means fully-loaded, fixed-cost center to meet a variable need.

FSB was formed to respond to these client concerns. We developed a unique service model that captures the benefits of traditional service options without the accompanying drawbacks. We like to think of it as the "FSB Perspective."

Benefits of the FSB Model

At FSB, sound business principles and client feedback determine how legal services are delivered. Unlike some "alternative" firms, FSB is a true law firm -- not a loose affiliation of lawyers. But we maintain no expensive corporate office space, no inexperienced junior attorneys and no unnecessary overhead. FSB is comprised of partners with significant large law firm, corporate or government experience; our partners bring an average of 17 years of experience working at some of the largest and most prestigious law firms and in‐house legal departments in the world, handling a diverse range of complex matters.

We don't employ inexperienced associates that train on our client's dime, and we don't have billable quotas that encourage attorneys to pad billing. This innovative model means that we can be efficient in responding to our clients' needs—with the answers and practical advice that only an experienced partner brings to the table.

In addition, FSB understands that today's business climate demands not only excellent attorneys, but also competitive rates. Because we have eliminated on-the-job attorney training and other unnecessary overhead, including redundant support staff, extravagant office space, and inflated marketing budgets, we are able to pass our savings on to clients.

Equally important, the FSB environment fosters close professional relationships and the delivery of exceptional business‐centered legal services to each and every client.
