Larkin Hoffman provides counsel to a wide variety of organizations, from small businesses and nonprofits to Fortune 500 companies, in many areas of practice including corporate and governance matters, litigation, real estate, government relations, labor and employment, intellectual property, information technology, franchising and taxation. The firm also serves the needs of individuals in many areas including trusts and estates and family law. 

We are an entrepreneurial law firm with a vibrant practice. Our attorneys’ doors are open for collaboration in a friendly and professional atmosphere. We nurture client relationships through exceptional service, teamwork and creativity. We are a firm, not merely a collection of individuals practicing law under the same roof. This spirit of cooperation – among attorneys and staff – is a key element of our firm culture. 

Business and career development

Larkin Hoffman recruits and retains top legal professionals with a strong work ethic, a focus on personal productivity and an entrepreneurial outlook. Our business clients recognize and appreciate that we run our law firm much as they run their businesses. We have a comprehensive mentoring program for developing our associates' legal and business skills. All of our professionals actively engage in continuing legal education and most will become very knowledgeable in a number of fields and industries by taking advantage of industry and specialty educational opportunities throughout their careers.

Our goal is to be truly responsive to our clients’ needs in a way that allows for a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
