The firm has earned a reputation for providing excellent litigation and transactional services, upholding the highest ethical standards in the practice of law, and being solutions-oriented in advocacy with clients.

Connell Foley’s culture is built on the principles of respect, acceptance, and inclusiveness. This year, for its commitment to a diverse workforce, Connell Foley received Mansfield Rule 6.0 Certification status, a prestigious designation awarded to law firms who have taken on the structural changes and steps necessary to ensure lateral hiring, client pitches teams, promotions, and appointments that are more transparent and open to all qualified attorneys across offices and practice groups.

The firm has grown exponentially in the past decade under the stewardship of its previous Managing Partners, Michael X. McBride and Philip F. McGovern, Jr., and current Managing Partner Timothy E. Corriston, by expanding existing offices and opening new ones. The company has produced many prominent leaders in New Jersey, including the former chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, a former state Supreme Court Chief Justice and Governor of New Jersey, senior executives at the state’s largest businesses, New Jersey’s first female lieutenant governor, chief counsels to former governors, and numerous federal and state prosecutors.

Connell Foley remains committed to serving its clients and communities aggressively. The firm represents some of the most influential and innovative companies and governmental agencies in the state and has a proud history of fighting for the success of its clients. As it celebrates 85 years of success, Connell Foley looks forward to a promising future, continuing to be one of the area’s preeminent law firms.
