Expert legal counsel at reasonable rates

The Wallenstein Law Group is a boutique firm built on a simple idea: Ivy League quality at a local firm price. We focus on practical, cost-effective compliance and commercial counsel — realistic risk mitigation and business-driven judgment that solves the problem in front of you without slowing the business down.

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Compliance

Not sure whether the FCPA applies to your company? It reaches private companies too — and it reaches what your agents, distributors, and partners do overseas. The program you actually need is usually smaller than you'd expect.

Sanctions, Export Controls, and International Trade

Shipping abroad and unsure what clearance you need? Three separate rule sets can apply to a single shipment — the item, the buyer, and the destination. Most problems start when a company checks one and assumes the rest.

Fractional General Counsel

Need real legal coverage without a full-time salary? A fractional general counsel handles the everyday work — contracts, vendor terms, regulatory questions — at a fraction of what an in-house hire costs.

Contracts

Need a lawyer to review a legal agreement before signing? Most contracts can be reviewed within days — and the clauses that cause the most trouble later are usually negotiable if you catch them before signature.

Business Law

Not sure if your company needs a business attorney? Most growing companies need three things handled well — contracts, entity housekeeping, and whatever regulator touches their industry. We'll tell you which one you're behind on.

Expert Legal Advice

Doing business where the rules aren't the ones you're used to? Companies operating in Latin America, West Africa, and the Gulf face local law, US enforcement reach, and lender demands all at once.

The Wallenstein Law Group is a boutique law firm focusing on practical, cost-effective legal and compliance advice. Our mission is simple: expert solutions at reasonable rates.

At The Wallenstein Law Group, you will receive Ivy League Quality at a local firm price. We emphasize realistic risk mitigation and practical, business-driven perspectives to solve problems and facilitate commercial growth.

What Our Clients Said

Josh has extensive international and domestic compliance experience, as a counselor and in-house legal professional, which allows him to efficiently and effectively identify risks, design mitigation strategies, counsel clients on implementation efforts, and convey those decisions in a thoughtful and accessible manner to senior leaders.

Thanks so much for being a voice of solid reasoning when I needed it most! You are amazingly amazing!

Working with you in team was one of my best experiences in cooperation with lawyers.

An outstanding law firm. Professional and easy to work with. Definitely the right firm to have on your side.

Josh is a reliable, quality lawyer that will very quickly become a trusted business partner. He runs a small practice that allows him to be flexible when helping clients. Very much a team player.

Josh has a tremendous ability to break down vast, intricate matters with several moving parts into a clear, concise and digestible manner. And he can do it when advising c-suite colleagues that do not possess a legal or compliance background. I have experienced first-hand the enormous value Josh's advice has on the business.

I worked with Josh for over 18 months covering what is perhaps the most challenging and culturally sensitive region within an international oil and gas services company’s portfolio. From the outset, his professionalism, knowledge, and skill were clear, and his dedication to his work and covering all angles really stood out. As a lawyer for a multinational, Josh was heavily involved in investigations and information gathering, and the time taken and the depth of his work proved invaluable in the Compliance Teams mission.

Josh is experienced, knowledgeable and critically is a stand -up person with very high ethical standards. We need more Josh-es.

I have known Josh for many years. I know him to be of the highest integrity, extremely knowledgeable in his subject expertise, and a friendly face when dealing with complex issues.

Josh is an attorney of exceptional talents and legal acumen. He is a person of the highest character and integrity.

I've had the pleasure of working with Josh on multiple occasions. He is a talented compliance executive, and after many years in that field, successfully transitioned into a business lawyer. He is honest, approachable, and well-liked by his peers.

In addition to Josh's legal capabilities, his response time and overall communication style are outstanding. His personable approach to clients helps a lot when working through significant issues businesses and individuals are facing. In addition to Josh's legal capabilities, his response time and overall communication style are outstanding.

Josh is unique in his market: he has a boutique firm, and yet is able -- and very good at - service multinational-quality clients.

Josh is an excellent attorney and advisor with deep experience in a variety of business critical areas. He excels at providing tailored and timely advice that can be immediately put to use by clients.

Josh provides excellent customer service because he has excellent interpersonal skills that are sadly lacking in many lawyers today. He is not afraid to pickup the phone and call people. This gives Josh an edge over other lawyers and that is one of the major reasons that I am recommending Josh for this high rating. He deserves it.

I have worked with Josh Wallenstein on multiple projects now, and have been consistently impressed with him. In addition to being very knowledgeable and professional, Josh is very personable, accessible and a joy to work with--attributes that are sometimes in short supply in the legal profession. I can recommend Josh without reservation.

Josh is a fantastic lawyer. He takes the time to understand clients' business and needs, then provides clear, actionable guidance. He is pragmatic in his counseling - he doesn't lose sight of clients' overarching business goals. As an in-house attorney, having an outside counsel like Josh to lean on has proven invaluable.
