Ford O’Brien Landy LLP is a Chambers-recognized litigation boutique with offices in New York City and Austin, Texas, representing businesses, professionals, and individuals throughout the United States and internationally. Our attorneys handle white-collar criminal defense, government and regulatory investigations, complex commercial litigation, and other high-stakes matters, wherever they arise.
Our clients benefit from our attorneys’ decades of collective experience at leading litigation practices and in government service, including as federal and state prosecutors. Whether navigating a government investigation, defending against allegations of financial misconduct, or pursuing a complex commercial dispute, we provide strategic, partner-led representation tailored to each client’s circumstances.
Our practice is not defined by the location of our offices. Some matters span multiple jurisdictions: government investigations can involve agencies at the federal, state, and local levels, commercial disputes may cross state or international borders, and enforcement proceedings can run on parallel civil and criminal tracks. Those matters demand a coordinated strategy that accounts for every forum and every source of risk.
Given the locations of our offices in New York City and Austin, Texas, many of our matters are local to our offices. But many other matters arise in jurisdictions far from New York or Austin. Our clients bring us in because they want our experience, wherever the case is. Ford O’Brien Landy has represented clients in courts and before government agencies across the country, including California, Ohio, New Jersey, and Delaware to name a few. Whether a case falls within a single jurisdiction or spans many, we bring the same level of preparation, strategic judgment, and advocacy to every matter.
Ford O’Brien Landy LLP has earned recognition from Chambers USA for its work in white-collar crime and government investigations in New York, and the Firm’s attorneys have also been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
The Firm has a substantial record of success, with results including a full acquittal following a federal criminal trial of a hedge fund CFO, dismissals of federal and state indictments and complaints, investigations closed without charges, favorable settlements in complex civil disputes, and successful federal appeals. These outcomes reflect the Firm’s commitment to careful preparation, innovative strategy, and determined advocacy.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
As a boutique firm, Ford O’Brien Landy combines the experience and capabilities of a leading litigation practice with the efficiency, accessibility, and personal attention of a focused team. Our approach is aggressive, nimble, and responsive. Experienced partners work directly with clients at every stage, developing bold and creative strategies while remaining attentive to each client’s objectives and the broader consequences at stake. Regardless of where a matter arises, our commitment is the same.
