Rimon Law is a full-service law firm with roughly 230 attorneys in 11 countries. As one of the largest non-traditional law firms we are able to offer the highest level of service while charging very competitive fees. Rimon is “semi-virtual,” meaning that while we have small physical offices, most attorneys work remotely. Much of the resulting savings is passed on to clients. We are also characterized by a very high level of experience, having many more partners (who typically came from “Big Law”) than young associates.
