Rooted in Horses, Built for You
At EquiLaw LLC, we’re more than a law firm—we’re a team that gets the rhythm of the equestrian world. It all started when founder Steven M. Tarshis swapped city suits for barn boots, trading a Wall Street career for a life among horses. He saw a need: riders, breeders, and stable owners deserved legal expertise as dedicated as they are to their craft. That’s why EquiLaw was born—to bridge the gap with smart, tailored solutions across New Jersey, New York, Florida, and Massachusetts. Whether you’re negotiating a stallion syndicate or untangling a boarding dispute, we’re here with the know-how and grit to back you up.
Our Team: Experience Meets Passion
Steven’s decades in law—and his own time in the saddle—set the tone for EquiLaw. He’s built a crew that blends deep legal chops with a love for the equine life. Take Diane L. Basset, our newest partner, who’s expanding our reach into Florida and Massachusetts. She’s not just an attorney; she’s handled everything from racehorse partnerships to liability claims with a steady hand. Half our team rides or owns horses themselves, so we don’t just talk the talk—we live it. Together, we bring over a century of combined experience to your corner, ready to tackle any challenge.
What We Do
We specialize in equine law, but we’re not one-trick ponies. From drafting ironclad horse sale contracts to resolving property issues for stable owners, we handle the niche stuff that keeps the equestrian community moving. Need help with a business deal outside the barn? We’ve got that covered too—think complex transactions, partnership agreements, or regulatory hurdles. Our promise? Personalized strategies that fit your goals, delivered with integrity and a sharp eye on today’s legal and economic landscape.
Spanning the Coasts
Based in New Jersey, we’ve grown to serve equestrians and businesses in New York, Florida, and Massachusetts. Whether you’re a trainer in the Garden State, a breeder in the Sunshine State, or a competitor up north, we’re your local ally with a regional reach. We know the laws—and the trails—in each state, so you’re always in good hands.
Why EquiLaw?
We’re here because we believe the equine world deserves better than cookie-cutter legal advice. You’ll find us responsive, practical, and relentless about getting the best outcome—whether that’s a quiet settlement or a courtroom win. Our clients aren’t just cases; they’re part of a community we’re proud to serve.
