The primary objective of the Law Offices of Michael C. Scher is to combine the legal expertise and high quality work product of a large law firm, with the service orientation and other advantages of a small law firm (with emphasis on value, personalized service, responsiveness, accessibility and accountability).

To that end, we give each matter we handle a high degree of personal attention.

We will advise you in a straightforward manner about the options available to you, and we will work with you to develop a sound and creative strategy that is designed to meet your goals.

Throughout our representation, we will keep you advised on the status of your legal matter. There will be no surprises. And you will find Michael C. Scher is easily accessible to you.

That includes returning your telephone calls promptly.

Cost

Typically, the overall cost of forming a new hedge fund is often estimated to be $25,000 to $30,000 by large firms. However, because we are a small firm we are able to price our services differently as a result of lower overhead costs and, as a law firm specializing solely in representing investment advisers and hedge funds, we are more efficient.

As such, our prices are fifty (50) percent lower than other law firms in the markets we serve on the east and west coasts (and throughout the world for offshore funds). Further, we take pride in every document we produce, and believe the quality of our work product is easily comparable to the best law firms. Moreover, we always establish a fixed-fee for each start-up client and include it in our retainer letter. We want each client to know what its legal fees will be in advance, so they can provide for them in the business plan. Accordingly, we charge fair and reasonable fees.
