WELCOME TO TLC LAW

Tayman Lane Chaverri LLP was founded by a pair of seasoned lawyers who learned the fine art of advocacy at some of the finest and uncompromising large law firms in the United States. They have formed their law firm as a business boutique in order to provide the same high-quality advice and advocacy through a rationalized platform that is more accessible to their smaller and middle market business clients – high octane legal, delivered in a way that directly addresses client concerns without creating new problems.

Our Philosophy

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in the opposite direction.

— Albert Einstein

The Founders of

Tayman Lane Chaverri LLP

learned the practice of law at some of the finest large law firms in the United States. These law firms set a high bar of unparalleled excellence in work product and in client service, a bar that the TLC law firm’s founders eagerly, if not easily, met. With this hard work and a bit of self-made luck, the founders of the TLC law firm quickly found themselves in senior roles in cases at these large firms; they found themselves growing into the role of trusted advisor to their clients.

Even as they grew professionally, the founders of the TLC law firm became dismayed at the pressures exerted by their large firms. The need to focus on the largest engagements at the highest rates left out too many of the smaller and middle market businesses which are forced to choose between leaving problems unaddressed or paying exorbitant rates.

The founders of the TLC law firm most enjoyed and have a passion for the nuances and rigors of small to middle market businesses. They saw an opportunity to deliver passionate legal services and support to this market.

Outcomes Not Tactics.

The founders of the TLC law firm decided to move into the future of legal services by forming a business law boutique founded on the philosophy of client service, trust, and partnering with clients with the goal of mutual value creation. This philosophy informs the values which we live every day of our professional lives:

Targeted Resources.

The TLC law firm has taken affirmative steps to make sure that every attorney in the firm has significant front line, opponent-facing, and client-serving experience. There are no placeholders here at the TLC law firm – every lawyer on every client team understands the role that he or she plays in achieving the client’s goal and that understanding informs his or her actions. We cannot and will not overlawyer your case, not only because it is antithetical to our vision of the practice of law, but also because we have chosen not to staff ourselves in a way that makes overlawyering possible.

We Go The Distance.

The TLC law firm has the ability to handle all manner of business disputes and distressed situations from A to Z. We understand that solving a business problem does not always mean litigation, and that advising on a transaction may mean fighting to achieve the client’s desired outcome. We don’t stop until we have achieved your goal; we have the skills and experience to go as far as needed – whether it be to trial, appellate process, or into post-judgment collection proceedings or wherever your needs take us.

Flexibility In Pricing.

The TLC law firm is leanly staffed and, like any other healthy business, avoids excessive overhead and extraneous expenses. We pass the benefit of this lean, well-managed structure on to you in the form of lower base rates and in flexibility and value-based alternative pricing arrangements when appropriate.
