Richard H. Waxman

Richard H. Waxman is a business lawyer with decades’ experience in law firms in the New York Metropolitan area and south Florida. He advises and represents successful closely held businesses, and the owners of those businesses, in connection with a broad range of business matters, including employment law matters. His areas of legal expertise are examined in detail in the Practice Areas section of this website. While the firm’s target client is a successful closely held business or professional practice, with up to $50M in gross revenues and 500 employees…we also provide competent, attentive and reasonably priced legal services to far smaller businesses.

He has authored numerous articles, newsletters, and alerts on legal issues faced by closely held businesses, many of which are posted on this website under the Practice Areas tab. He has lectured extensively on those issues and serves on the faculty of the National Academy of Continuing Legal Education (i.e. he teaches lawyers how to practice law!). Since the advent of the “me too” era, he has helped numerous clients address the risk of Sexual Harassment claims by conducting Sexual Harassment Prevention Training, as mandated by recent NYS and NYC laws. He is outside employment law counsel to two prominent law firms.

Mr. Waxman is a graduate of the Hofstra University School of Law, where he was ranked in the top 10% of his class and was appointed to law review. He has practiced at prominent New York City law firms, and for the 17 years prior to forming Richard H. Waxman, P.C., was senior partner of Kahn & Waxman, in NYC and Boca Raton, FL. He is admitted to practice in New York and Florida and is a member of the New York State, New York City and Nassau County Bar Associations, and a member of the business law and employment law committees of those associations.

Mr. Waxman has resided for most of his life in the Five Towns and Barrier Beach areas of Long Island, New York. In the Five Towns he has served on the Board of Directors of the Five Towns Community Chest and was active in the administration of the Hewlett-Lawrence Soccer League. He more recently moved to Long Beach, Long Island where he can be found, in warmer months, playing beach volleyball and biking on the boardwalk…in winter, he skis in the northeast, except when he skis the Rockies. He is the father of two grown children, Ian and Ashley.
