KBL Roche

In Trust We Serve

At KBL Roche we don't deal well with commodities. We sell services. Specialized and individualized services tailored to the people behind a vision and with a goal.

We also started with a goal: Legal services are best served on trust built through relationships.

While results give goals value, and expertise the tools to achieve them,* it is people who walk the line and trust that carries them.

Welcome to KBL Roche! A place that gets your why so it can show you the how!

*Don't worry, we also deliver high quality legal expertise forged through years of experience as partners to our clients, weathering through the storms they face and celebrating their successes.

International Full Service Boutique

.post-2660579439 .body-description

KBL Roche was founded in New York City by an international cohort of multi-cultural and -licensed attorneys from across the world with a shared passion for creativity and growth to bring to life:

An international full service boutique law firm that combines the modern and the institutions to ensure that our clients have a legal team at their side that is equipped to handle change, growth, and diversity without forgetting the principles that formed us into the lawyers we are today.

Our model for that!? Boutique in size, full service in expertise, headquartered in New York with a global reach through multinational and multicultural people.

But why?! Today's client is not tied to one place, does not follow old norms or abide by common standards. Whether a client crosses borders, combines cultures, challenges best practices, or entertains audiences globally – they’d all like their solutions uniquely tailored but ubiquitously available (kind of like that App you wish existed).

So? We are not an App and Apps cannot (yet?) replace a lawyer. And we certainly do not provide cookie cutter solutions with a click (yes, you will have to sit down and talk with us). But as die hard advocates of your cause and international full service boutique we pretty much nail the rest.

Currently, that makes us specialists. In the near future, this will be the staple.

Alexandre Leturgez-Coïaniz, Esq., LL.M.

Partner, New York + Paris

Born and raised in the western part of France in a working class environment, Alex blends his heritage with Parisian class (law school and banking litigation with CM-CIC), the entrepreneurial get go mentality of a New Yorker (pursuing the New York dream and opening Roche Legal in 2019), and the settled serenity of the Hamptons community, where he calls it home. This cocktail produced the firm’s diligent backbone, the eye for turning an extra stone and who holds our firm accountable to our profession, which is more than a job, it is an avocation of dedication to the community that we travel.

.posts-pre-contact .body-description

Good work product and happy clients happen when the right people meet. The same goes for a culture; it is incepted and nurtured by the people and their relationship. As much as we believe in our own power of management and control to set the rules for a culture, (and we have a ton of rules, we are a law firm after all), the groundwork for our happy clients is forged anew through countless iterations with every new hire, and every new relationship that we build.

KBL Roche is always interested in discovering new legal, administrative, and managerial talent. If you think your experience and career goals would make you a great match for our team, and you’re interested in a fast-paced, values-oriented work environment, feel free to send us your résumé.
