What we do and how we do it: the Surman Law 3-Step System

Surman Law represents businesses from their initial start-up phase to their succession planning, often ending strategically with a merger or an acquisition. Surman Law serves as an outsourced general counsel, rendering advice as needed, being conscious of clients' budgets, while minimizing risks of litigation and audits by governmental agencies. The firm uses its 3-step system to accomplish this, and continuously ensures proper governance and risk management of its clients, helping maximize business profits by minimizing legal risks and exposures.

Client-focused

Founded by Silvia Surman, the firm is known as a client-focused advisor that serves as a strategic partner and a valuable legal resource to its clients. The firm is marked by the same progressive, entrepreneurial spirit that defines its clients. We are committed to remaining forward-thinking and evolve with our clients in the dynamically changing world of business and law.

With more than two decades of combined experience, Surman Law advises growing companies in a variety of practice areas, with a customized, streamlined, expense-conscious approach.

Wealth of knowledge and strategic alliances

Ms.Surman's international experience brings a unique perspective to the firm's approach to its client's needs and is invaluable in today's global business environment. Ms. Rodgers' two decades of general counsel experience translates into a wealth of knowledge for our clients, whether they are a local start-up or have an established global presence. The firm is also proud of its alliance with a litigation boutique firm founded by a former Vinson & Elkins partner, with over three decades of complex business litigation experience, and an association with an intellectual property and patent firm, with over three decades of practice in the IP field. These alliances allow Surman Law to assist its clients with their business litigation and IP and patent needs, giving each client comfort in receiving all-around legal support.
