Finn Dixon & Herling LLP

Finn Dixon & Herling was founded in 1987 with a vision to create a dynamic, client-focused business law firm providing sophisticated, cost-effective, responsive and solution-oriented representation and counsel. This vision has guided our steady, organic growth as seen in our recruitment of service-focused, business-minded lawyers and the development of complementary business law practices that enhance our overall services to clients. Our Mission Statement, which also reflects that core vision, is as follows:

• Provide excellent, solution-oriented advice and counsel to our clients.
• Provide responsive, high quality service to our clients, colleagues and business partners.

We understand and appreciate that we are in a service industry and have centered our vision, as well as our client mission statement, around the foregoing ideals. Our unwavering commitment to clients has allowed us to steadily grow and attract like-minded colleagues with excellent qualifications. Simply put, our reputation is based on our people and the results they achieve for our clients.

We believe solution-oriented is not just a marketing term, but a responsibility that we owe our clients. It means that it is our job not simply to identify problems, but to provide our clients with practical solutions to those problems. This requires us to thoroughly understand each client’s business and enables us to anticipate a client’s needs and present solutions that are not only legally sound but tailored to accomplish the client’s unique goals and objectives.
