Our History and Guiding Principles
Jules Halpern founded Halpern & Scrom Law PLLC in 2004 with a mission to provide practical, accessible, and cost-effective legal counsel to clients who benefit from his extensive background as senior employment counsel and human resources executive. In 2013, Paul Scrom joined the firm, bringing additional expertise and a commitment to client-focused advocacy, and in 2018, he became a partner. Halpern & Scrom Law is based in New York and serves clients nationwide, recognized for delivering creative, results-driven solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.
Our firm is committed to providing exceptional legal support by acting as a strategic partner for our clients. Our attorneys approach each matter with a dual perspective—evaluating both the business and legal implications of every decision—allowing us to address complex challenges while advancing our clients’ goals and maintaining compliance. At Halpern & Scrom Law, we foster a collaborative environment where our team’s combined expertise is leveraged to develop innovative, practical solutions that resonate with our clients’ priorities.
With over two decades of experience in employment, education, business, and non-profit law, we offer a caliber of representation often associated with larger firms but with the accessibility, personalized service, and cost-efficiency of a boutique practice.
