A graduate of Columbia Law School, Ethan launched his career in high-stakes litigation, where he quickly became known for his clarity under pressure, his tactical courtroom instincts, and his relentless advocacy. But what truly set him apart was his vision: to create a modern law firm that was both elite and approachable—where clients felt empowered, not overwhelmed.

That vision became Langford & Meridian, a firm that blends the rigor of traditional law with the agility of modern practice. Under Ethan’s leadership, the firm has grown into a trusted partner for Fortune 500 companies, fast-growing startups, international clients, and individuals facing life’s most complex challenges. As Executive Director, Ethan oversees the firm’s strategic direction, culture, and innovation. He also remains deeply involved in mentoring young attorneys and shaping client strategy on major cases. Known for his calm leadership and thoughtful counsel, Ethan is equally comfortable behind a desk as he is in a courtroom or on the front lines of negotiation.

Outside of law, Ethan is a lifelong learner, avid reader, and advocate for legal access and education. He volunteers with several legal outreach programs and frequently speaks at universities and bar associations on ethics, leadership, and the future of legal practice. For Ethan, law is not just a profession—it’s a platform for impact..
