Samuel A. Rubert isn’t your typical attorney; his journey to the legal profession began in kitchens and bars rather than a library. From copying down receipts at age five to training at the French Culinary School and working at the acclaimed Blue Hill in New York, Sam lived and breathed the hospitality world long before he stepped into a courtroom. With parents who were both lawyers, law school felt like an inevitable path—he’d been negotiating his own allowance since he was eight, after all—but he knew he wanted to stay connected to the industry he loved. Today, he focuses his practice exclusively on the food and beverage sector, representing the kind of "wonderfully weird" industry members he enjoys most. Because he has been a barback, a bartender, and a chef, Sam approaches law with a hospitality mindset. He prioritizes the client’s goals and provides service that feels more like a partnership than a transaction. His dedication has earned him a five-star Google rating and the prestigious Martindale-Hubbell AV rating, the highest peer-reviewed honor in the field. If you are looking for a lawyer who speaks your language and understands the unique grind of the service industry, Sam is the advocate you need.
