The purpose-built law firm

Taylor English Duma LLP is a full service law firm built from the ground up to provide high quality legal services for optimal value. Our Firm was founded in 2005 and we work each day to provide timely, creative and cost-effective counsel to help clients solve problems and achieve goals. We represent all types of clients—from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups to individuals.

Every member of our Firm carries extensive experience from years of front-line work with top firms and leading businesses, including many who served as in-house and general counsels. In addition, a number of our members have worked outside of the practice of law, including in the start-up and management of businesses. Combining our diverse talents in an environment that promotes efficiency and eliminates big-firm trappings, Taylor English provides a full array of legal services using experienced and exceptional attorneys at a fraction of the cost.

We deliver superior service through...

1. Purpose-Built Efficiency

Everything we do is focused on greater efficiency, flexibility and entrepreneurship. The result is that our clients view us as part of their business building investment, not a corporate expense.

2. Purpose-Built Partnerships

We are partners, not vendors. The result is that we are accountable, respectful and care as much about our clients' business as we do our own.

3. Purpose-Built Results

We are problem solvers. We are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to provide value and results and seek flexibility in how we structure engagements.
