Newly Merged Firm Redefines Client Success with a Business-Centric Approach
Bartko and Pavia & Harcourt combine to create a national firm with an international reach and business-centric approach, focused on their clients’ goals and long-term success.
Bartko, a leader in complex litigation and Pavia & Harcourt, an international corporate boutique, have merged to create the national firm of Bartko Pavia. With offices strategically located in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York, the new firm combines the firepower of a large firm with the personalized care and agility of a boutique to serve their clients across the nation and internationally.
“After years of working together, we are excited to combine our shared values, complementary strengths, and a vision for delivering unequalled legal service. The mutual dedication to client service and well-matched strengths will create a synergy that will benefit long-time clients and position us to better represent both established and new clients,” said An Ruda, firmwide Co-Managing Partner, CEO.
With Bartko’s robust presence in California since 1978, and Pavia & Harcourt’s deep roots in the New York and European markets since 1951, our ability to provide local expertise from coast to coast and with a global reach has become exponentially stronger.
“The merger of our firms is a demonstration of the same nimble approach we apply with clients – whether it be with litigation or strategic advice. For Bartko, a New York office enhances our global litigation platform and service offerings. Change and transformation are not to be feared but embraced. We should run towards strategic opportunities that are new and innovative,” said Patrick M. Ryan, firmwide Co-Managing Partner, Chair of Litigation.
“Adding a powerful West Coast litigation, labor and compliance dimension to our practice with a trusted partner of many years, is a crowning development for our Firm, which will further enhance our established ability to serve our European and international clients with unparalleled insight and efficiency” said Giovanni Spinelli, New York Office Managing Partner, Head of International.
The new firm will continue to lead in high-stakes areas including complex litigation, labor and employment law, commercial and corporate matters as well as antitrust, banking, business litigation, intellectual property, class actions, fashion law and luxury goods, and media and entertainment law. With a solidified global reach, Bartko Pavia handles high-profile cases both nationally and internationally, representing multinational corporations and individuals alike. From global corporations to startups, the firm’s deep bench of talent promises impactful results at every level.
