Firm History

Prior to forming PKA Law, Joseph Paykin worked for a prestigious Wall Street firm. He formed a partnership with Charles Krieg in 1994 in order to provide specialized and customized representation to their clients.

In 2009, Thomas Adams joined his childhood friends Paykin and Krieg and they formed PKA Law. Adams became head of the corporate department due to the extensive knowledge he gained during his career in the financial services industry. His background includes working in a substantial Wall Street firm and in-house counsel positions with financial institutions, including a Fortune 500 ratings agency.

The three partners created PKA Law with the goal of representing clients as if our attorneys were actually in-house counsel. This novel approach to representation was created to ensure that we provide maximum benefit to our clients. To that end, we always search for the most cost-effective solutions, always weighing cost within the context of the value added.

Our clients range from startups and entrepreneurs, to closely-held, family-owned and corporations with hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue.

Delivering Exceptional Legal Service

We provide knowledgeable guidance on the many legal issues our clients confront, with a focus on:

  • Commercial transactions, including private securities offerings, real estate transactions and licensing agreements
  • Commercial litigation and arbitration involving contract disputes, commercial leasing disputes, shareholder disputes, defense against securities class action claims and other disputes

We bring diverse backgrounds and legal knowledge to resolve these high-stakes legal issues. We never pressure clients into settlements or jeopardize their interests. Our goal is to provide every client with high-caliber representation founded on honesty and integrity.

Outside Counsel And Litigation Services

As outside general counsel, we work with our clients to structure their governance documents to anticipate and minimize costly future conflicts and disputes regarding management and ownership.
