Levitt Richard

Legal matters in the Financial District don’t always wait for business hours—sometimes you need counsel that’s accessible when the courthouse isn’t. Levitt Richard handles those moments from an office on the 17th floor of 40 Fulton St, where the elevator doors open to a practice that keeps things simple: law, a phone, and a restroom for clients who’ve been stuck in traffic or back-to-back meetings.

Downtown Manhattan has no shortage of attorneys, but few make their address as straightforward as this one. The building sits between the Brooklyn Bridge and the South Street Seaport, a stretch where historic facades meet modern high-rises and the sidewalks hum with commuters, delivery bikes, and the occasional tourist squinting at a paper map. A call to (212) 480-4000 connects you to the same floor where motions are filed and contracts are reviewed, though the only service they list on the door is a restroom—proof that even lawyers recognize the basics matter.

If the address sounds familiar, it’s likely because 40 Fulton St anchors a block where law firms share space with trading floors and coffee carts. For directions, pull up the map; the entrance sits mid-block, flanked by a deli that sells $12 salads and a newsstand that still stocks out-of-town papers. New York’s legal scene thrives on proximity—judges, clerks, and opposing counsel are often just a few floors or subway stops away—and this location puts Levitt Richard within walking distance of the courts, the stock exchange, and the kind of lunch spots where deals get hashed over half-sandwiches.
