We litigate business disputes on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants. Although we have helped many clients resolve disputes without needing to litigate or arbitrate, we also aggressively litigate cases in courts and arbitral forums around the world when necessary. Our lawyers have handled cases involving breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate and securities fraud, consumer fraud, IP licensing, and trademark and patent infringement, as well as many other types of business disputes—often winning victories against much larger companies and firms.
Among the cases handled by our lawyers*:
Represented collectors in high-profile consumer-fraud case against the New York Giants and Eli Manning arising from sale of counterfeit memorabilia.
