Attorneys Ugo Colella and John Zefutie are pleased to announce the opening of Colella Zefutie LLC, a law firm focused on business and commercial law (https://www.czlaw.com/). The firm launches with three partners, Ugo Colella, John Zefutie and Jon Lippard, who collectively bring over 65 years of experience representing clients in and out of the courtroom. The Washington, D.C.-based firm has offices in New York, New Jersey, and Northern Virginia.

Although a traditional law firm in many respects, Colella Zefutie focuses on efficiency and creative strategies that allow clients to reach their business and legal objectives with substantial cost savings. Mindful of how the current COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted the affairs of both individuals and companies, Colella Zefutie’s core business systems are structured to provide secure, cloud-based, and sophisticated legal solutions. During this unprecedented time, Colella Zefutie’s attorneys and professionals have been able to work seamlessly and without interruption.

“We are thrilled to open Colella Zefutie, offering our valued clients an alternative to the typical big law model,” said Managing Partner Ugo Colella. “Because we have extensive experience with the most complex legal problems, we can deliver the same services as big law firms but at a much lower cost, and with the care only a boutique law firm can provide.”

“Ugo and I have practiced law together for 10 years, growing a client base comprised of companies and individuals that have trusted us to achieve their business and personal goals,” said Partner John Zefutie. “We are very grateful for our clients’ trust, and we will continue to offer the highest level of service at Colella Zefutie.”

“In these challenging times,” Mr. Colella continued, “we have been in touch with our clients to ensure, first, that they are safe and healthy and, second, whether there are any challenges—legal or otherwise—that we can address for them to alleviate those worries.” Mr. Colella is looking ahead: “As with all crises, COVID-19 will subside, but as legal counselors, we are ready to immediately address the avalanche of legal problems that our clients are sure to face in the near future.”

Colella Zefutie’s clients have included large municipalities, Fortune 500 companies, international banks, small-to-medium sized businesses, and high net worth individuals.
