Simmons, Jannace & Stagg, LLP practices in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. The firm has achieved the highest peer review rating by Martindale-Hubbell, which rates legal ability and ethical standards.

Twelve years ago, we began as a litigation firm focusing on commercial and general liability litigation.

In addition to our core practice of commercial and general liability litigation, our practice areas include labor and employment , arbitrations and litigation, securities law, banking and consumer litigation, bankruptcy and creditors rights, corporate transactions, municipal law, real estate, zoning and land use, and environmental law.

Inc., Washington Mutual Bank FA, Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc., Staples Inc., Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc., General Motors Acceptance Corporation, GMAC Insurance Holdings, Inc., Circuit City Stores, Inc., and Foot Locker Inc., among others. These Fortune 500 clients turn to Simmons, Jannace & Stagg for our expertise and experience, and because we are widely recognized as a firm that thinks “outside the box.” All too often, lawyers are slaves to convention, to the status quo. We’re not.

We are equally adept at representing small companies, municipalities and individuals, many of whom turn to us for quality representation at a reasonable cost. By truly listening to the needs of our clients and looking for ways to resolve conflicts in nontraditional ways, we have established long-standing relationships with our clients, many of whom we have represented since our inception a decade ago. We are proud of the trust and loyalty that all of our clients, both large and small, have placed in Simmons, Jannace & Stagg.

Our attorneys are encouraged to approach each case with a fresh perspective and to look for opportunities to resolve conflicts in a cost-efficient and effective way. We have successfully tried many cases for our clients, yet have also been successful employing alternative dispute resolution techniques and negotiations on behalf of our clients. Clients turn to us because we listen to their needs and always put their interests first.

In addition to litigation, the firm acts as counsel to business clients and real estate developers in matters involving financing transactions, real estate and general commercial matters. In this area, we have structured a variety of loans and other financing transactions, including real estate and construction loans, asset-based loans, asset securitizations, stock purchase sale and leaseback transactions. Our firm provides guidance in choosing a business form and has organized corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and other legal entities throughout the U.S., as well as negotiated and prepared joint venture agreements and buy/sell agreements.
