Woolery & Co is a strategic law firm at the intersection of law and corporate finance, advising clients on their most complex legal and business challenges.


Woolery & Co is a strategic law firm established in 2020 by industry veteran, James (Jim) Woolery. What sets Woolery & Co apart is our distinctive approach — we do not take on routine matters. Instead, we retain a lean structure that allows us to focus on select clients with whom we maintain deep, trusted relationships and unique situations that require highly strategic solutions.

Our attorneys combine elite legal training with direct experience in banking, asset management and capital markets, giving us the fluency to navigate complex transactions, high-stakes disputes and strategic mandates with both legal precision and financial acumen. Because we operate on a performance-based fee model, we approach every matter from the perspective of a principal, ensuring our legal strategy is fully aligned with our clients’ commercial objectives and the demands of executing high-stakes transactions and complex disputes.
