New Jersey-based firm brings together experienced attorneys across real estate, litigation, corporate compliance, and business law to serve clients throughout the tri-state area

FAIRFIELD, N.J. — DeCotiis Doyle LLP has launched a new law firm built on a collaborative model that emphasizes shared leadership, accountability, and high-performance legal work.

The firm represents public and private clients across real estate, redevelopment and land use, litigation, corporate compliance, business law, and public entity matters. With offices in Fairfield and Little Silver, DeCotiis Doyle serves clients throughout New Jersey and the broader tri-state region.

Formed following a strategic realignment earlier this year, DeCotiis Doyle was designed to move beyond traditional law firm hierarchies, combining shared leadership with a modern, technology-enabled operating model designed to attract experienced attorneys and respond quickly to evolving client needs.

“Too often, law firms are constrained by rigid structures that limit collaboration and slow decision-making,” said Michael R. DeCotiis, Managing Partner. “We built DeCotiis Doyle to be different. Experienced attorneys work as true partners, share responsibility for outcomes, and stay fully aligned in delivering strategic, results-driven work for our clients.”

A cornerstone of the firm’s practice is advising on complex real estate and redevelopment matters, including public-private partnerships, regulatory approvals, project financing, and large-scale development initiatives. The firm also maintains a robust litigation practice, representing clients in high-stakes disputes across state and federal courts, as well as a growing corporate compliance and business law platform supporting clients in highly regulated industries.

“Our clients are navigating increasingly complex legal and regulatory environments,” said Douglas F. Doyle, Founding Equity Partner. “They need counsel that not only understands the law, but also the practical realities of development, business operations, and government interaction. We’ve built a platform that integrates deep experience to deliver that level of strategic, sophisticated guidance.”

The firm’s attorneys have extensive experience advising both public and private sector clients, including municipalities, redevelopment agencies, utilities, developers, and corporate entities. This dual perspective enables DeCotiis Doyle to navigate matters at the intersection of government, regulation, and business.

Mr. DeCotiis has held senior leadership roles in government, including serving as Chief Counsel to the Governor of New Jersey and Deputy Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and has been widely recognized as one of the most influential attorneys in the state. Mr. Doyle has significant experience representing public entities and private developers in redevelopment projects throughout New Jersey, as well as corporate clients in complex litigation and regulatory matters.

At its core, DeCotiis Doyle is built on a shared philosophy: that the strongest legal work comes from experienced attorneys who operate collaboratively, hold one another to high standards, and maintain a clear focus on client outcomes.
