Bridging Innovative Legal Solutions
& Global Business
Skoufalos LLC, a law firm with an internationally recognized reputation for handling admiralty, transportation,
insurance and commercial matters, maintains offices in Stamford, Connecticut and New York City. The firm is headed by Stephan Skoufalos, an AV rated litigation attorney with over twenty-five years of experience.
The firm’s clientele is global and it services shipping companies and insurers in several primary markets such as Greece, the United Kingdom and, of course, New York and the now established Connecticut maritime community. The firm handles all types of insurance claims, including coverage disputes, subrogation, protection and indemnity and other types of liability claims, as well as hull, charter party and other contractual disputes arising from international commercial transactions. The firm’s clients also include large commodities traders and a number of successful corporations involved in media and various other service businesses.
The firm offers legal assistance on wide-ranging matters including corporate, ship sale and purchase, foreign inheritance and real property issues, immigration, commercial transactions and regulatory advice. The firm has close ties to the Fairfield County, Connecticut-based ship brokering and ship owning and operating community and has developed a niche expertise representing ship brokers in a myriad of cases.
The firm was selected in 2008 to become a distinguished member of the International Network of Boutique Law Firms, a group of national and local law firms that provide a high level of service and support to their clients (www.inblf.com).
The firm’s philosophy can be summarized as "results focused litigation handled with the perspective of a business oriented entrepreneur." Its aim is to connect those different, but compatible skills to service the needs of its clients. Distilling this approach to a few meaningful words, the firm's mission statement is “Bridging innovative legal solutions and global business.” The bridge metaphor (also the firm's logo) is apt in describing Skoufalos LLC’s core philosophy and its day-to-day business approach. The firm strives to link its clients, including law offices abroad, to appropriate legal solutions, analyses and insights.
Skoufalos LLC’s pillars or foundation grow out of the views and comments of its clients who for years have made it clear that service, accountability, reasonable billing and primarily a personal touch or approach to their matters are paramount.
