New York, NY – Today, Vasquez Segarra LLP officially opened its doors. The firm is committed to serving the legal needs of small businesses and empowering underserved communities through passionate and dedicated counsel. Jorge Luis Vasquez, Jr. and Esperanza Segarra, founding partners of Vasquez Segarra LLP, have over 30 years of combined legal and advocacy experience, with much of that time spent advocating and litigating to dismantle systemic barriers that often impede Black, Latinx and other marginalized communities from actualizing electoral and business dreams. Vasquez Segarra LLP seeks to provide clients with big firm experience coupled with small firm dedication.

As the nation enters a prolonged recovery, two things are readily apparent –  first, the systemic hurdles that impede small business development in Black, Latinx and other underrepresented communities need to be dismantled and, second, small business owners need access to quality legal services at every stage of their business development. As attorneys with extensive civil rights and commercial law experience, the attorneys at Vasquez Segarra LLP have an intimate understanding of how to navigate those issues and are eager to help their clients make their business dreams a reality.

Vasquez Segarra LLP stands ready to:

-               Leverage the social equity provisions of New York’s new Cannabis law to make sure that communities most harmed by the war on drugs can be today’s entrepreneurs.

-               Work with your business to identify prudent ways to avoid litigation while also standing ready to use our over 30 years of complex commercial litigation experience to defend your business in court.

-               Advise public and private entities on all aspects of election law and campaign finance regulations, including for individuals that have aspirations to run or are running for office.

-               And much much more.

“As our communities strive to rebuild from the social and economic effects of a global pandemic, it is important that entrepreneurs, business owners and individuals are supported by superior legal counsel. At Vasquez Segarra LLP, our team is dedicated to providing that support and working to ensure that our clients’ interests are fully represented.”  Jorge Luis Vasquez, Jr., Founding Partner at Vasquez Segarra LLP.

“We have seen time and time again how well-intentioned Black, Latinx and other underrepresented groups of entrepreneurs put their life and savings into building a business only to find unexpected pitfalls in the system and legal hurdles disrupt visions of growth. We are here to stand in your corner to make sure the vision for your business becomes a reality. Unlike the big firm mentality that sees you as a commodity, we see you as our community first and foremost.” Esperanza Segarra, Founding Partner at Vasquez Segarra LLP
