The large-firm model
Built for the largest matters. The named partner delegates to multiple levels of junior partners, of counsel, and associates. The work passes through several hands, and you pay for everyone who touches the file.
The Sailfish Difference
Most litigation matters do not need a team of 10+ lawyers. They need a senior lawyer who actually does the work, and the leverage to go toe-to-toe against a team of any size. That is what Sailfish Law was built to provide.
Large firms are built for large matters, and they are very good at them. On a leaner matter the economics run the other way: the partner you hired delegates much of the work to associates, and you pay for everyone who touches the file. Sailfish Law is built around the opposite premise. One lawyer, Peter, does the work himself, from the first call through trial, with AI handling the volume that once required teams of attorneys, all under his direct supervision. The result is a senior litigator's undivided attention and the leverage of a much larger team, without the overhead.
Model
Built for the largest matters. The named partner delegates to multiple levels of junior partners, of counsel, and associates. The work passes through several hands, and you pay for everyone who touches the file.
One senior lawyer, Peter, does the work himself from the first call through trial, with AI supplying the leverage a team used to. You get undivided attention without the overhead.
Sailfish Law does not have to replace your current counsel. Peter can step in as co-counsel on a single, high-leverage piece of a case, usually large-scale document review, privilege analysis, and the data work that drives most discovery cost. Your team keeps the lead and the client relationship; Peter adds senior, AI-fluent capacity where it saves the most.
Sailfish Law is a solo practice, by design. The difference is that one lawyer here can stand across from a team of ten or a hundred and match its output, because AI does the work that once took a room full of attorneys. When the other side fields a large team on a document-heavy case, Peter answers with institutional-grade AI that reviews large document sets quickly and accurately: a privilege review that would take a team of attorneys weeks can be done in days, and the patterns that decide cases surface faster. The technology amplifies experienced legal judgment. It does not replace it, and every output is reviewed by Peter before it leaves his desk.
Peter has represented commercial and individual clients in arbitrations and courtrooms all over the country: from protecting a company's intellectual property and confidential information, to defending a business against an emergency injunction and resolving it on favorable terms, to helping executives and professionals exit on far better terms than they were first offered. His clients are individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses facing well-resourced adversaries, and the record shows that one focused lawyer, properly leveraged, can deliver the caliber of work these matters demand.
Alternative Fee Arrangements
For the right matter, on either the plaintiff or defense side, Peter will share risk with his clients rather than bill by the hour alone, pricing a contingency or other arrangement with a funder's eye for what a case is actually worth. However Peter is paid, his aim is the same: to pursue the strongest possible result for the client, as efficiently as the matter allows. Sharing the risk is simply one more way to put that on the table.
