December 9, 2009 — Best Lawyers of America profiles the "New York powerhouse litigation boutique Bickel & Brewer," which has "earned a reputation as the go-to firm in cases where a company simply cannot afford to lose."
“Right now, there’s a seemingly endless supply of businesses facing situations that require legal representation in which, if they don’t get the financial situation worked out or don’t get those supply lines open or don’t get the burden off their back, it will so impact them—that they’ll likely be out of business,” said William A. Brewer III, one of the firm’s founding partners. “We’re built for these kinds of disputes.”
The article, published in a special section of New York Magazine, notes some of the firm's "unusual features," including having an in-house team of former FBI investigators and business specialists, while also focusing on its devotion to public service.
The article states, "Its Future Leaders Program targets talented school kids from economically disadvantaged parts of Dallas, and provides intensive academic and leadership training from fifth grade through high school. The Future Leaders Program grew out of another of initiative, the Bickel & Brewer Storefront, a community law office it established in 1995 in the inner city in Dallas to provide free or sliding scale civil legal services to low-income clients (any fees it receives are funneled back into the Bickel & Brewer Foundation, which funds the firm’s many public service initiatives.)"
“We’ve been blessed,” said Brewer, “and I and my partners feel that whenever we can, we should make ourselves available to help people who need it.”
