Res Nova Law is a forward-thinking boutique law firm located in downtown Portland, dedicated to serving entrepreneurs, creatives, and families. Founded by Susan L. Ford, an attorney with over 25 years of experience, the firm takes its name from the Latin phrase for ‘new thing’ or ‘fresh start.’ This philosophy drives their practice, which is focused on helping clients launch new ventures, protect their innovations, and secure their family’s future. Res Nova Law distinguishes itself by offering a modern, approachable legal experience, often utilizing flat-fee pricing to eliminate the uncertainty of hourly billing.
