Raines Feldman Littrell LLP

Sixth Avenue doesn’t lack for law firms, but not all of them handle the kind of work that keeps corporate counsel up at night. Raines Feldman Littrell LLP sits on the 22nd floor at 1350 6th Ave, a tower that overlooks the midtown shuffle without getting lost in it. The practice zeroes in on litigation, employment disputes, and regulatory compliance—exactly the sort of thing that lands on a desk when the usual in-house team needs backup.

Around here, the elevator banks still hum with the kind of quiet urgency that says deals are closing and motions are filing. That urgency doesn’t always translate to the phone lines, though; a call to (917) 790-7100 usually lands you with someone who can triage the problem before the partners even pick up. It’s the kind of place where corporate governance and real-estate transactions get the same no-nonsense treatment as a wrongful-termination claim.

Clients who walk in from the street are rare—most arrive with a referral or a court date already looming. Still, the address is easy enough to remember, and the map pins it right between Rockefeller Center and Central Park, so the walk from any midtown subway stop is never more than ten minutes. If the matter involves securities litigation or a class-action defense, the team here has probably seen it before.

Directions are straightforward: pull up the map here and let the blue dot guide you past the usual lunchtime crowds. By late afternoon the sidewalks thin out, leaving just the sound of cabs and the occasional siren—standard background noise for any firm that calls Sixth Avenue home.
