Areas of Practice
Keeping you involved, every step of the way.
David Rosati’s first love was business—which is a distinct advantage for his clients.
As part of the corporate and commercial team at Scarfone Hawkins, he’s learned that the best results come when clients are informed and involved. “Some lawyers take the approach, ‘Leave it with me, I’ll take care of it’,” he says. “We educate our clients. We give them the facts and advice they need to make the decisions themselves. After all, they’re the experts in their business and know exactly what they want to achieve.”
David’s work ranges from commercial real estate acquisitions and financing, to mergers and acquisitions, startups, insolvency and corporate restructuring, development projects, employment law, residential real estate, and wills, estates and trusts. Regardless of the file, he has an open, easy-going manner and an organized, logical, principled approach. “I like helping clients achieve their goals,” he says. “It’s almost like I’m a part of their business.”

A: I enjoy attending continuing professional development seminars. There's an increasing tendency for lawyers to view these seminars as webcasts from the office. This is a great convenience, but I prefer to attend in-person. I think it adds to the learning experience.
A: I try to be myself. Candid, honest and worthy of our clients’ confidence.
A: It recently became official. I’m the lawyer IT guy—part of the team that makes sure we’re getting the most from the technology we have and trying out new technology that will make us more efficient and responsive to clients.
