GOODSILL ANDERSON QUINN & STIFEL
HONOLULU, HAWAII
With its history dating back to 1878, Goodsill Anderson Quinn & Stifel’s client
base started with large Hawaiian companies. Now the firm serves domestic and
international clients, ranging from startup companies to mature businesses,
in 20 practice areas. “The hallmarks of our legal services are quality, integrity,
teamwork and cost-effectiveness,” says Johnathan C. Bolton, counsel at Goodsill.
A quarter of the firm’s nearly 60 lawyers practice in the areas of corporate and
securities law, securities litigation, bankruptcy and mergers and acquisitions.
“Our banking and business attorneys have the experience and know-how to
provide excellent legal advice and offer innovative yet realistic solution-oriented
counsel to the firm’s clients. … Our firm is one of the few Hawaii law firms with
attorneys who have experience in handling securities law issues for public and
nonpublic companies,” he says.
