About Vaughn Buffalo
A graduate of Harvard University and Columbia Law, Vaughn Buffalo began his career in New York City at Paul,

building and legal know-how.

OCVC
OCVC is the brainchild of Emily Renner and Vaughn Buffalo, two corporate lawyers who became friends in 2007 when they met in a cab in New York City. They saw the need to educate small business owners about the structure and major documents needed in business and thus OCVC was born.
Testimonials
We hired Buffalo & Associates to handle an extremely delicate family-corporate business matter.
Our case involved a sudden and tragic death of a principal owner of our family business.
We interviewed various firms and knew immediately that Buffalo & Associates were the ones for us!
Their knowledge, experience, work ethic and approach were bar none.
We had the best possible outcome we could have asked for, not for lack of trying and working very diligently.
They took this to task!
Their approach was unlike any other: extreme support, guidance, coach, trainer, decisive and with extreme precision.
Vaughn and Emily are an amazing team and a pleasure to work with.
They calmed us when we needed and rallied us when we needed in other parts of the process.
Overall, considering it was such an awful situation, we had an amazing, unforgettable and life changing experience with them, we would highly recommend them to others.
They continue to represent us in much more positive life experiences in personal and professional matters.
What could be a better endorsement then our continued and dedicated repeat business with them!

Small Business Owners, New York
Buffalo & Associates helped me sell my business located in Michigan and right after helped me and my partner purchase a business in Hawaii.
Despite being located thousands of miles away, it was as if they were located right next door.
They went above and beyond to accommodate the time difference and made sure it did not interfere in our daily business routines throughout
the nearly half year representation.
The cost of the transaction was reasonable, the legal service was top notch and the advice they gave was
insightful. My new company is now looking to buy another business in Hawaii and we again hired Buffalo & Associates.
