Brotman Law was founded in 2013 after Sam’s several years in private practice and completing his business school education. The firm was created as a result of several of his deep and personally held beliefs about lawyers and the nature of the practice of law. Through his personal experiences, discussions with his colleagues, and his education, Sam discovered that there are several inefficiencies with the way law firms are traditionally run. These inefficiencies, over time, tend to lead to a drop off in the ability of lawyers to serve their clients, produce results that do not actually meet the client’s goals, lowers job satisfaction among attorneys, and higher rates of burnout in the legal profession. These things take away from why people go to law school in the first place: to help people achieve their goals through legal solutions and dilute why we do what we do. By borrowing from several of the more successful law firm models and disruptors across a variety of industries, Sam has tried to build a different kind of law firm. By scaling back and dedicating more resources to fewer clients, Brotman Law tries to go beyond what most law firms do and is less about solving problems than building a foundation that helps clients meet their personal, professional, and financial goals. Tax problems are a part of the equation, often a significant one, but the firm works to protect the prosperity of its clients and to secure their financial future.
