About Us

How can the law advance your vision, support your work, and protect both your interests and your progress?

When it comes to running a business, legal issues should take a back seat to strategic solutions. Taking this perspective is what we do at Tonkon Torp. Since 1974, we’ve been dedicated to thinking like a business, so you don’t have to think like a lawyer.

No matter the size or complexity of your business, we bring the right people, the right questions, and the right counsel to every client relationship. We support our clients with responsive service, pragmatic thinking, expert support, straight talk, and humor.

Our advice and advocacy is personal, business-focused, and always the right size for your unique needs.
