Counsel that holds up.
Halloran & West is a boutique firm advising founders, families and property owners. We give you the partner — not a rotating cast of juniors — and advice you can actually act on.
Confidential · No-obligation first consultation · Responses within one business day
Focused expertise, not a phone book of services.
We do a handful of things, and we do them at a partner level. If your matter sits outside our focus, we'll tell you and point you to someone we trust.
Real estate & property
Acquisitions, leasing, development and disputes — residential and commercial, start to settlement.
Wills, trusts & estates
Estate planning and administration handled with the discretion these matters deserve.
Commercial litigation
When negotiation fails, measured, well-prepared advocacy that resolves matters efficiently.
Employment
Advice for employers on contracts, policies, exits and the disputes that follow.
Mergers & acquisitions
Due diligence, structuring and negotiation for owners buying, selling or succeeding.
Our approach
Plain English. Senior hands. Fixed fees where we can.
You get the partner.
The lawyer you meet is the lawyer who runs your matter — not a name on the door.
Advice you can act on.
No hedging behind jargon. We tell you the risk, the options, and what we'd do.
No bill-shock.
Scoped quotes and fixed fees wherever the work allows, agreed before we start.
We pick up the phone.
Every message answered within one business day. Most, much sooner.
Meet the people on your side.
A small bench of senior lawyers, supported by a team that knows your file by name.

Typical first response
They explained a complicated acquisition in language I understood, gave me a fixed fee, and got the deal closed two weeks early. I've recommended them to half my board.
