From a small consulting firm to a nationally recognized leader in legal policy solutions — here's the story of how we built a legacy of integrity, expertise, and trust.
In the early 2000s, the legal landscape was rapidly changing. Businesses across the nation struggled with complex, ever-evolving regulations that threatened their operations, compliance, and reputation.
Our founders — attorneys Robert Chen and Margaret Walsh — saw a critical gap in the market. They believed every organization deserved access to top-tier legal policy expertise, not just Fortune 500 companies with massive in-house legal departments.
"We founded LexiGuard on a simple principle: legal policy should empower businesses, not intimidate them. Our mission was to make expert guidance accessible, actionable, and affordable for organizations of every size."
Starting from a modest office in midtown Manhattan with just three advisors, LexiGuard grew through word-of-mouth referrals, exceptional client results, and an unwavering commitment to ethical standards.
Two decades of growth, innovation, and dedication to legal policy excellence.
LexiGuard is founded by Robert Chen and Margaret Walsh in New York with a vision to democratize legal policy expertise for mid-market companies.
Expanded to 25 advisors and opened a second office in Washington D.C., positioning us at the heart of regulatory policy development.
