HSG strives to provide the highest level of service through unparalleled judgment, skilled advocacy, and fee arrangements that ensure alignment with our clients’ interests. HSG was founded in 2012 by The Hon. Richard J.

HSG is over 70 lawyers strong, with the experience, expertise, and depth to handle the most complex commercial disputes in courts, arbitral tribunals, and administrative agencies across the country.

We are an ideal partner for any client with high-stakes matters pending in any of the nation’s courts or in any arbitral or regulatory forum, as well as for law firms unable to take on particular matters due to professional conflicts. OUR CULTURE HSG actively promotes a culture that values its people and their diversity. We believe the most successful lawyers are those who work in an environment that focuses on quality, professionalism, and individual respect, while at the same time fosters and encourages creative thinking to solve our clients’ problems. Similarly, we have the highest respect for the legal profession as a community and the responsibilities that come with membership in it, including a substantial dedication to pro bono practice.
