Overview

Sutin, Thayer & Browne lawyers understand the needs and challenges faced by general counsel. For decades, we have worked with businesses and in-house legal teams seeking reliable support in New Mexico, offering established processes that allow for a seamless extension of your client services into the state.

We collaborate closely with businesses and corporate legal departments at every level to serve your clients. Our approach includes identifying needs, setting timelines, assembling appropriate teams, and tracking progress and efficiency for both short-term and long-term matters. Our attorneys regularly handle matters in most of New Mexico’s 33 counties, as well as in state, tribal, and federal courts, and we are accustomed to managing cases for clients located outside the state. Our consistent presence allows us to provide dependable availability and staffing to legal departments throughout the United States. With a broad group of transactional lawyers working within one firm, we are frequently engaged as local counsel across a wide range of matters. When an understanding of New Mexico’s political, historical, and legal landscape is important, businesses turn to our firm.
