For twenty-five years Tom Leland practiced at large international law firms.

Big firms solve problems with people. A case needs a document review, a research memo, a chronology, a deposition digest — so the firm staffs it with associates, and the client pays for each of them to learn a record the partner already knows. Clients absorbed that cost for decades because there was no alternative.

In 2023, Tom left to build one. Leland Law LLC handles the same cases — high-stakes commercial disputes, tort and casualty defense, institutional litigation — with none of the leverage and a fraction of the overhead. The lawyer who takes your call is the one who argues the motion and tries the case.
