Based in New York City, Dreier is a 75-lawyer legal shop that bills itself as an “innovative alternative” to the inflexible bureaucracy of large-firm lawyering. But if it achieves its lofty growth goals – both in and outside of Connecticut – it will challenge that very precept.
Its fledging Stamford office already has six lawyers, with a seventh on its way. But in listening to the new outpost’s founding partners – Joseph M. Pastore III and Benjamin H. Green – it’s clear much larger plans are in the works. “I would love to [have] 20 to 25 [lawyers within] the next couple years,” Green said of the office’s long-term goals. Pastore’s aspirations are more far-ranging and more ambitious: to bulk up to about 50 lawyers, in order to compete with the likes of Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker and Kelley Drye & Warren, two of the original out-of-state firms to set up beachheads in Fairfield County.
