About
Founded 1987
Established in 1987, Finn Dixon & Herling is rooted in the belief that exceptional legal services, client-centric focus, and a devotion to core values are fundamental to our success. Our founders emphasized maintaining the utmost professional integrity while fostering teamwork and prioritizing the well-being of our clients, attorneys, and staff. They coined this philosophy as "doing it right." At FDH, we take pride in delivering sophisticated legal guidance alongside efficient personal service that's often unmatched by larger firms. We evaluate our achievements through enduring relationships with clients—highlighting partnerships with some of the nation’s leading private equity and venture capital entities. Recognized as a premier corporate and M&A firm by Chambers USA since 2003, FDH employs a collaborative approach that leverages an extensive team of seasoned attorneys across various specialties. Our firm culture attracts top talent from prominent backgrounds—including former U.S. Attorney for Connecticut officials—and leaders from key regulatory bodies like the U.S Department of Justice and SEC; many have also come from AmLaw 50 firms.
Upholding stringent ethical standards is integral to our practice; we regard law not only as an opportunity but also as an obligation to contribute positively back into society through proactive community engagement initiatives such as pro bono work for veterans or refugees plus providing support for local non-profits while participating in federal civil rights advocacy efforts. Furthermore, we are earnestly dedicated to advancing diversity, equityand inclusion within legal practice—a commitment underscored by our pursuit of Mansfield Rule certification among mid-sized law firms nationwide.
