Fullerton Beck LLP opens 100% female-owned firm

 

 

White Plains, NY Fullerton Beck LLP, a full-service litigation firm founded by Eileen Fullerton and Katrine Beck, has opened their doors at 1 West Red Oak Ln. Fullerton Beck LLP serves the needs of clients in New York City, Long Island, Westchester, Orange, Sullivan, and Putnam Counties in insurance defense litigation and risk management. This unique litigation firm was founded by two female litigators, Fullerton and Beck, who have known each other for over 17 years. 

They both started their careers as an assistant corporation counsel working for the NYC Law Department, Bronx Tort Division. After zealously litigating and trying cases on behalf of the City of New York, each went into private practice at large insurance defense firms. Fullerton and Beck continued to stay in touch over the years and ultimately discovered that they shared a vision for teamwork, mentoring, and true partnership. This shared belief of these fundamental qualities along with putting the needs of clients before their own, was the catalyst for Fullerton and Beck to open Fullerton Beck LLP.  

“As a 100% female owned and managed firm, we pride ourselves on being a full-service boutique firm that offers high quality legal services for competitive rates,” said Fullerton, founding partner. “At Fullerton Beck LLP, we are committed to providing diversity and growth within, while providing the best representation for our clients.”  

“We are excited to open our firm here in Westchester County, where we have developed a professional network and respected reputation,” said Beck, founding partner. “Our hands-on approach with each case, together with our firm’s collaborative approach in defending cases, sets us apart and provides a different approach from other firms. As an entrepreneurial firm, we can relate to our clients’ needs to obtain efficient and effective quality service- without the need for long protracted litigation.”
