Pircher, Nichols & Meeks Remains Committed to its Roots as a Boutique Real Estate Law Firm
Los Angeles-based law firm's desire to retain its distinctive culture, autonomy and competitive billing rates holds strong despite recent offer to merge
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- For more than 35 years, Pircher, Nichols & Meeks LLP (Pircher) has maintained a thriving national real estate practice and been entrusted to provide sophisticated solutions for some of the country's most complex real estate transactions. Los Angeles-based Pircher maintains its position as a premier real estate law firm through its truly boutique approach that continues to produce superior client services.
Many of real estate's largest investors have turned to Pircher over the years, including AIG Global Real Estate, Blackstone Real Estate Advisors, Farallon Capital, JMB Realty, PIMCO, Starwood Capital Group, and Walton Street Capital. These firms and many more in the real estate community have relied on Pircher for advice and counseling on a wide variety of deals, including sales and acquisitions, joint ventures, financing, leasing and development, workouts and other complex transactions.
Aside from representing some of the nation's most well-known and active equity funds, financial institutions, venture capitalists, REITs, pension funds and other real estate investors, Pircher stays competitive in the world of real estate law through its commitment to being a specialty boutique law firm focused solely on real estate. This commitment, combined with the firm's dedication to knowledge sharing and mentorship that are woven into the fabric of its culture, is what draws clients and attorneys alike to Pircher's team.
Pircher has also captured the interest of other law firms over the years. Most recently, New York City-based White & Case LLP, approached Pircher to join its practice. Despite the decision of certain partners in the firm's Chicago office to join White & Case, Pircher's Los Angeles partners declined this overture as they have reacted to similar past offers: choosing to remain a competitive boutique firm.
Pircher has maintained its autonomy through its boutique structure for more than three decades. Not only has this approach allowed the firm to remain nimble and flexible while also providing competitive billing rates, but it also has produced benefits for Pircher's attorneys.
In addition, the firm maintains a tight-knit team of attorneys at the top of their field who share their knowledge and experience for the benefit of colleagues and clients alike. Pircher seeks out professionals who are highly skilled in the area of real estate law. As a result, the firm has developed a close group of experienced attorneys with shared values, allowing for better knowledge-sharing and more intentional mentorship opportunities.
"At Pircher, we make every effort to support our people and encourage their growth, because, at the end of the day, we know they are our greatest asset," says John Irons, Partner and member of Pircher's Executive Committee. "This notion is integral to our firm culture and, as a result, the practice has continued to thrive upon the collective knowledge and intellectual capital of our attorneys."
For its 40 attorneys in Los Angeles, Pircher hosts educational sessions to allow associates and partners the opportunity to expand and refine their knowledge in the areas of real estate transaction documents and related legal issues. Pircher facilitates education and mentorship opportunities outside of the firm as well, through programs such as its Real Estate Joint Venture (JV) Challenge. The firm's attorneys also teach and mentor the next generation in the area of real estate law as adjunct faculty.
