Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz PC

Financial District isn’t just about banks and trading floors—it’s also where some of the city’s sharpest legal minds set up shop. Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz PC has been part of that landscape for decades, handling everything from advertising law to intellectual property disputes, entertainment contracts, and complex litigation. The firm’s client list reads like a who’s-who of media, tech, and creative industries, though you’d never know it from the quiet confidence of their 35th-floor office at 28 Liberty St.

What does a law firm actually do when it’s not in court? Quite a bit, as it turns out. Frankfurt Kurnit advises on regulatory compliance, negotiates deals, and drafts agreements that keep businesses out of trouble before it starts. They also tackle defamation cases, privacy issues, and even employment matters—basically, the legal side of modern commerce. The practice extends beyond Manhattan, but the address remains a steady anchor in a neighborhood where deals are made before the coffee goes cold.

Law firms in this part of town tend to operate on a different rhythm than the rest of the city; the stakes feel higher, the language more precise. That’s the environment Frankfurt Kurnit moves in, though they’ve managed to avoid the stuffiness that sometimes comes with it. Their work often involves untangling the kind of problems that don’t make headlines but keep executives up at night—copyright infringement, contract breaches, or licensing snags that could derail a project before it even launches.

If you need to reach them, the number is (212) 980-0120. Directions are straightforward—plug this map into your phone and follow the crowd toward the elevators. Everyone down here knows where they’re going; the trick is figuring out why you’re going there in the first place.
