History of INBLF

INBLF: Assuring You of High Quality Legal Services

The International Network of Boutique Law Firms was founded in 2004 by Manhattan attorney Steven Spielvogel, who also is a founding partner of New York law firm Gallion & Spielvogel, which focuses its practice on business and commercial litigation and independent internal corporate investigations.

In founding the INBLF, Mr. Spielvogel was motivated in large part by his commitment to providing his firm's clients with the best legal representation available. He set out to identify attorneys in other practice areas whose credentials and professional experience and accomplishments are of the very highest caliber, so that when a client sought assistance in an area beyond Gallion & Spielvogel's primary practice area, he could suggest a referral without reservation.

After his success in assembling a network of preeminent attorneys in the New York metropolitan area who excel in a wide array of discrete practice areas, Mr. Spielvogel set out to establish similar networks in other cities with the same objective in mind: to ensure the uniformity of unparalleled excellence among all of the single-discipline law firms invited by Mr. Spielvogel to join the INBLF.

Today, the INBLF boasts nearly 300 member firms in more than 40 major cities throughout the United States and Canada. Each INBLF law firm has been meticulously screened and vetted to guarantee that every member attorney adheres to the very highest professional standards and has achieved local and regional preeminence in his or her discrete practice area.

Mr. Spielvogel also has expanded the INBLF overseas. By recruiting some of the oldest, largest and most preeminent full-service foreign law firms for association with the organization as the INBLF's international strategic partners, the INBLF is now present in more than 20 nations throughout Central and South America, Europe and Africa. Plans are now under development for the INBLF to join forces with yet additional prominent law firms in Asia and Central Europe.
