New York City native Larry Slade is a savvy and experienced entrepreneur and licensed attorney with over 20 years experience in sales and sales management, team and project management, conflict resolution, civil and criminal litigation, government relations, trial advocacy and client relations. A superior record of academic and professional achievement distinguishes his career.

Larry attended Pace University School of Law in White Plains, New York, earning his diploma in 1994. His many honors at law school include the serving as Acquisitions Editor for the Pace Law Review, recipient of the prestigious American Jurisprudence Award for Trial Advocacy, “Best Oral Argument” in the Pace Advanced Moot Court Competition, the Dean’s Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Good of the Law School, and four years as an elected member of the Student Bar Association. As a participant in the school’s rigorous Prosecution of Domestic Violence Clinical Program, administered in association with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, Larry became the first student in Pace University’s history to successfully convict the defendant in a domestic violence jury trial.

Building upon this success, Larry launched his law career as an Assistant State Attorney with the Dade County State Attorney’s Office in Miami.

In just over two years he earned an impressive trial win record of 90%, prosecuting over 175 bench and 50 jury trials to a guilty verdict, while at the same time earning recognition for his ethical approach to criminal prosecution in the Misdemeanor, Juvenile and Felony Courts.

As a businessman, Larry has demonstrated the same resourcefulness and determination to succeed. In his capacity as an Associate Consultant at DEI Management Group in New York City from 1987-88, he organized sales training and business development seminars for Fortune 500 companies. In 1988, as Director of Marketing at New York’s Health & Injury Institute, he forged strategic relationships designed to generate patients and develop new revenue streams. His efforts laid the groundwork for the sale of the company for almost $9 million. From 1989-94, Larry served as the Director of Business Development at The Center for Sports & Osteopathic Medicine in Manhattan. While attending law school at night, he aggressively built the company’s revenue streams by developing referral relationships with many of the city’s major health and fitness clubs, as well as its corporate wellness centers.

In 1996 Larry was recruited by 3 Point Digital, a Los Angeles-based reseller and integrator of high-end computer systems used to edit feature films and television shows. Providing the startup company with general counsel and serving as its Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Larry helped grow the firm to over 60 employees and over $50 million in annual revenues.

He founded his own company, Echo Post, in 1998. Larry quickly grew Echo Post from a 1,500-square-foot post-production facility to an 11,000-square-foot multimedia operation employing 15 people. Echo Post continues to provide digital technology services to the film and television industry in Hollywood.

Larry successfully sat for the California Bar Exam in 1999 and returned to the practice of law in 2001. He soon joined the Law Offices of Michael S. Overing in Los Angeles as a Litigator. Responsible for all aspects of civil litigation and business transactions for clients in commercial and entertainment industry enterprises, he successfully tried a wide array of cases involving contracts, labor and employee relations, real estate, trusts and general business disputes. He launched Slade & Associates in 2004.
