Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based LaVan & Neidenberg specializes in social security disability, veterans’ disability compensation, and long-term disability cases. A year after it opened in 2004, it had three employees and 600 clients. Today it has 120 employees, including a dozen full-time attorneys plus some offsite help, and 20,000 clients, said the firm’s founding partner and president, Ken LaVan, at an IBM event in New York Tuesday showcasing small business partners.

Speaking with LaVan at the event, it seems likely that an entrepreneurial spirit and some hard work played roles in the firm’s growth, including an 80 percent surge in gross revenue, from $5 million last year to $9 million this year. But as both LaVan and IBM say, it has also been about a small business emphasizing innovative technology to compete and grow despite limited resources.
