Litigation

The Firm’s litigation attorneys engage in a broad range of commercial, securities, financial, transactional, real property, estate, divorce and employment matters. Our clients include prominent individuals and businesses in the securities, entertainment, art, real-estate, banking, transportation, insurance and biotech industries. We regularly appear before federal and state courts, administrative agencies, self-regulatory organizations and arbitration tribunals throughout the United States, and have experience in all phases of litigation from initial investigation through discovery, trial and appeal.

Our litigators are a top-notch group of dynamic attorneys who handle a wide variety of complex matters for corporations as well as individuals. Our clients benefit from objective advice, innovative strategies to resolve disputes and aggressive representation throughout the litigation. Each case is staffed appropriately, and we use the most cost-effective means to realize each client’s objectives. With decades of experience in civil lawsuits, business litigation and estate litigation, the Firm’s litigators often become part of the client’s business team and help formulate strategies to avoid future litigation risks.

In addition to the defense and prosecution of commercial claims, a significant part of our litigation practice is the representation of individuals and broker-dealers in defense of SEC and self-regulatory organization inquiries, investigations and disciplinary proceedings. We also defend directors and officers of public companies in, among other things, shareholder suits, claims arising from failed transactions and other suits that arise out of their commercial activity. Our litigation lawyers have the breadth of experience and substantive knowledge to navigate such complex matters.

Our litigation practice includes talented trust & estate litigators with significant experience in trust and estate disputes. These attorneys are skilled in handling Will and Trust Contests, Contested Accounting Proceedings, Spousal Rights Proceedings, Reformation and Construction Proceedings, Property Turnover Proceedings, and a variety of other contested litigation matters stemming from the distribution of inherited wealth.

Because of the Firm’s overhead structure, we are able to handle both large and smaller matters in a cost-effective manner. Whether the case calls for an aggressive approach or an innovative solution to a unique litigation problem, our litigators have the training and sophistication to deliver a favorable outcome.
