Litigation & Disputes
When negotiation fails, you need advocates who are as comfortable in front of a jury as they are at the negotiating table.
Our litigation group represents plaintiffs and defendants in high-stakes commercial disputes, from contract and partnership claims to fraud, professional negligence and shareholder litigation. We are trial lawyers first: our partners have tried more than two hundred cases to verdict.
What we handle
- Breach of contract and commercial disputes
- Partnership and shareholder litigation
- Fraud and business torts
- Arbitration (AAA, ICC, FINRA)
- Appeals in state and federal courts
Our approach
We begin every matter with an honest assessment of its strengths, risks and likely cost. We then build the case as if it will be tried, because that preparation is what moves opponents to reasonable settlements.
Frequently asked
Questions we hear often
How quickly can you take on a new dispute?
In most cases we can meet within two business days and begin work immediately. Where a deadline is imminent — an injunction or a limitation period — we can act the same day.
Do you only represent businesses?
No. We represent companies of every size as well as individuals, executives and families. About a third of our litigation work is for private clients.
How are litigation fees structured?
We offer hourly, capped-fee and, in suitable cases, partial contingency arrangements. You will receive a written estimate before any work begins.
Will my case go to trial?
Most disputes settle. But we prepare every matter as though it will be tried, because that preparation is what produces favourable settlements.
Can you handle matters outside New York?
Our attorneys are admitted in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and before several federal circuits. We work with trusted local counsel elsewhere.
