Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Clients turn to us for complex litigation and arbitration, from technology contract disputes to cases involving trade secrets and confidential information.

Commercial Litigation & Trial Counsel
We prosecute claims to deliver real recoveries for plaintiffs, and defend clients against threats that strike at their core. Our team has sat on both sides of the table and knows how to anticipate moves and position cases for the best outcome, whether through trial, arbitration, or settlement.

Contract & Technology Disputes 
Our team is notable for representing financial institutions as plaintiffs in technology outsourcing disputes and challenging one-sided provisions in commercial contracts that unfairly limit rights or a culpable party’s accountability. We have achieved precedent-setting decisions invalidating overreaching terms in contracts entered into by sophisticated parties in business-to-business transactions. Our litigation experience allows us to defend against unfair terms and pursue recoveries that protect our clients’ interests.

New York & Beyond
We regularly partner with out-of-state firms as local counsel or cocounsel in disputes involving New York law, a popular state law governing many commercial and technology transactions.

Regulatory Escalation
Because the disputes we litigate often intersect with a counterparty’s state or federal regulatory obligations, we identify and frame claims to raise issues regulators care about. Where appropriate, we assist clients in pursuing complaints before administrative and regulatory agencies, complementing litigation strategies with regulatory avenues to protect our clients’ interests.

High-Stakes Advocacy & Results
Clients turn to us when the risks are highest, knowing we bring relentless advocacy, strategic judgment, and a record of results in critical circumstances.
