Smith, Gambrell & Russell, LLP

Smith, Gambrell & Russell, LLP is a U.S. full-service law firm with a long history of advising international, and particularly German-speaking, companies in their U.S. business.

We represent more than 600 companies from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in all legal aspects of doing business in the United States, including tax-efficient corporate formation, liability protection, and contract drafting from general terms and employment agreements to complex joint venture, licensing, and distribution agreements, as well as product liability, intellectual property, business immigration, and regulatory compliance.

Our M&A and venture capital teams assist clients in domestic and cross-border transactions, while our litigators and patent attorneys are recognized for their effective representation in commercial disputes, intellectual property matters, and international arbitration. Our German-speaking Site Selection Practice uniquely complements this work by assisting companies seeking to establish or expand production in the United States.

All attorneys in our German Practice are trained in both German and U.S. law, and many are admitted to practice in both jurisdictions. Reflecting our focus on mid-sized companies, we often offer fixed-fee arrangements to ensure cost predictability and budget control. Founded in 1893, Smith Gambrell today includes nearly 350 attorneys across 14 U.S. and international offices, including New York City. For more information, visit: German Practice - SGR Law.
