Since 1938, our firm has been committed to addressing the needs of clients, employees and the community, and to upholding the highest ethical standards in the practice of law. Today, our full-service team of over 160 lawyers continues to earn the loyalty of client businesses through our dedication to their growth and success.

The firm offers a comprehensive range of legal services in both established and emerging areas of law, including alternative dispute resolution, banking, bankruptcy, commercial litigation, corporate law, construction, cybersecurity, ERISA, employment and labor, environmental, insurance, professional liability, product liability and toxic torts, real estate and land use, taxation and estate planning, and white collar criminal defense.

Across this spectrum, we counsel startups and closely held businesses, large public and private corporations, financial institutions, insurance companies, nonprofits, government agencies, educational institutions and others as they confront complex legal challenges and unique business opportunities.

Our lawyers know that effective strategy requires a keen understanding of each individual business and marketplace. We recognize that clients value not only a successful outcome, but efficiency in its pursuit. And we believe, as we did 85 years ago, in diligent work and a handshake our clients can trust.

Over the years, Connell Foley’s ranks have included retired court judges, appointees to state superior court and government officials, including a former New Jersey state governor. The Supreme Court of New Jersey has designated 11 of our lawyers as certified civil trial attorneys. We have also been honored by the American College of Trial Lawyers, the American Board of Trial Advocates and the International Association of Defense Counsel, among others.

Our founders built Connell Foley on the pillars of teamwork, service and loyalty. We are proud to uphold their legacy today, instilling confidence in the relationships we nurture by equating each client’s success with our own.
