Scarinci Hollenbeck is merging with Warren Law Group, a move that the Little Falls-based business law firm says will boost its presence in New York City as well as expand its range of legal services for clients.

Announcing its agreement with Warren – which focuses on financial services, government investigations and business litigation – Scarinci Hollenbeck said the firms will launch a 25-attorney office in Midtown Manhattan, just steps away from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden.

Founded and led by Christopher Warren, the six-year-old Warren Law Group provides legal representation to financial services professionals and business owners in matters related to regulatory compliance, government and internal investigations, enforcement proceedings, litigation, and exempt securities offerings and transactions.

The firm has also carved a niche in the realm of emerging technologies – such as using artificial intelligence to cut costs for clients, cryptocurrency litigation and advisory services – establishing itself as a thought leader with several attorneys frequently providing insights on major news platforms.

Uniting the firms, the parties said, will expand legal practices for Scarinci Hollenbeck, including securities and financial services litigation, government and internal investigations, blockchain and AI tech governance and litigation, construction and real estate litigation, mergers and acquisitions, entertainment law, intellectual property, and commercial litigation.

Since being established in 1988 by Donald Scarinici, the practice has grown into a regional leader in environmental, land use, commercial real estate, transactional intellectual property and cannabis with 70-plus attorneys in New Jersey, New York and Washington, D.C.

“We are thrilled to merge with a firm that shares our passion for engaging with cutting-edge technologies, creating new growth opportunities for agile firms in the business landscape,” said Scarinci. “This collaboration will unveil innovative cost-saving solutions in the new year and beyond, enhancing the benefits and services we offer to our clients.”

Warren described the merger as “a big step for us.”

“It puts us in the league of firms that large companies trust in New York City, known for our solid track record and focus on our clients,” he said. “I’m thrilled to work with my new colleagues at Scarinci Hollenbeck who, like us, are all about teamwork, innovative solutions, and relentless dedication to our clients. We’re using the latest tools to bring real value to our clients, a kind of value that traditional law firms just don’t offer.”
