Frequently Asked
Questions about Alderton & Cole
How do I schedule a consultation?
Request one through our contact page or call any of our five offices directly. An attorney from the relevant practice group responds within one business day, and for corporate and institutional matters that is usually a partner. For time-sensitive matters — an injunction or a filing deadline — say so and we will prioritize your review the same day.
What jurisdictions does Alderton & Cole practice in?
Our attorneys are admitted in 12 jurisdictions. We have offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, and Miami, and we regularly handle federal court matters and multi-state transactions across the country.
Does the firm handle individual legal matters?
Alderton & Cole focuses primarily on corporate, institutional, and high-stakes individual matters. We work with Fortune 500 companies, private equity funds, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals. We do not handle routine consumer matters.
What size transactions does the firm handle?
Our M&A practice has closed transactions ranging from $40 million to multi-billion-dollar cross-border deals. Our litigation practice handles disputes from $10 million to bet-the-company cases. We evaluate each matter on its merits.
How are legal fees structured?
We offer hourly billing, flat-fee arrangements for defined-scope engagements, and (in select litigation matters) contingency or blended-rate arrangements. We provide written engagement letters with clear fee structures before beginning any representation.
Is the initial consultation confidential?
Yes. All communications with our attorneys are protected by attorney-client privilege from the moment of initial contact. We will not disclose the existence or content of any consultation without your explicit consent.
