Neff Law Firm offers very high quality, specialized legal services at affordable rates. For clients without in-house lawyers, Neff Law Firm often plays an outside general counsel role. For clients with existing legal departments, which need to manage their legal costs, the Firm’s flexibility, efficiency and reasonable rates and high-quality work product prove equally attractive.

Neff Law Firm is particularly strong in international/cross-border transactions; perhaps 50% of the matters we handle have international aspects or involve international clients. Although a majority of our clients are based in California, including many in Silicon Valley, we have acted for clients based in Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, India, Japan, Malta, Mexico, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Certain major companies use us to handle issues that arise in Latin America because of our unique expertise there and language capabilities. We also have a trusted network of international lawyers with whom we work who can assist with every matter that arises. We have helped many companies to expand their operations and sales in overseas markets, and enhance their international profile.
