Industry Knowledge Informs Sound Legal Advice

The attorneys at Hodgson Russ aren’t just lawyers; we are businesspeople, too. And as businesspeople, we understand the complexities of running a company and the difficulties of competing in a globalized market.

We also understand that sound legal decisions take into account  a company’s unique business concerns. There is no one-size-fits-all legal solution. That’s why we pride ourselves in understanding how our clients’ function and the myriad industries in which they operate. And it’s why we are pleased to host regular Industry Roundtable events in Buffalo and Albany that bring together c-suite executives and other leaders to discuss the business landscape and particular challenges they face.

The roundtables, held at our historic headquarters in Buffalo and the University at Albany School of Business, are moderated by Buffalo Business First and Albany Business Review, respectively. As a courtesy, both publications' coverage of the events is available below.
