Much Shelist, P.C.

We know your business matters.

We're a full-service firm where the law is practiced with passion and pragmatism. We've built our reputation on sophisticated work and immersive relationships with our clients. We champion big ideas over big law, and high-touch service over high cost. We care deeply about the quality of our work and believe fresh perspectives are better than the same old, same old. We know the legal landscape is always changing, and we're committed to making strategic, forward-thinking decisions to ensure we are positioned to serve our clients now and well into the future.

When a law firm is confident enough to do things differently, well, that's a firm that gets your business.
"At Much, our growth is driven primarily by our clients' needs. Our ability to identify and meet those needs is a direct result of the close working relationships we have with our clients and our deep understanding of their challenges and opportunities."

- David T. Brown, Chairman
Best of both worlds.

We represent privately held businesses, public companies and high-net-worth individuals at every phase of business growth and transition. From start-ups to micro-caps to Fortune 1000 global leaders, we're there for you. Our attorneys are experienced in legal disciplines essential to any business operation, including areas of law typically found only at small boutiques or the mega firms. At Much, it's the best of both worlds.

Happy lawyers do the best work.

You want people on your team who love what they do. You need productive attorneys who show up ready to make a difference. The benefits of a great workplace culture and a unique approach to the practice of law extend directly to our clients. Learn more about our culture.

Bragging rights.
