The firm's Litigation attorneys are involved in an active state and federal trial practice throughout the United States.  We have experience in all types of sophisticated real estate litigation, title insurance defense work, commercial debt collection matters, lender liability actions, securities litigation, defense of class action litigation and complex insurance matters, contractual and partnership disputes, accountant and lawyer liability matters, criminal defense work and internal investigations.  Members of the firm also handle a host of litigation-related issues and administrative proceedings in connection with the firm's banking, transactional and bankruptcy practices, including commercial debt collection matters, pre- and post-judgment remedial actions and domestication of foreign judgments.

In keeping with our philosophy of examining the full range of approaches available to each client, our lawyers actively pursue alternative dispute resolutions whenever such a course of action is available and makes sense.  We represent clients in arbitrations, mediations and summary trial proceedings and mini-trials, in addition to developing practical solutions outside the framework of formal litigation procedures. 

Our clients run the gamut from major financial institutions, loan servicers, venture capital firms and multi-national real estate developers, syndicators and brokerage firms, to smaller entrepreneurial businesses and individuals.  We are on the approved counsel list of numerous outstanding companies, including American Express, Bank of America, Capital One Bank, Deutsche Bank, Discover Bank, Dollar Rent A Car, GE Capital, GE Money Bank, Hertz Equipment Rental Corp., and Ingersoll Rand Company.

Whether we are immersed in a cutting edge litigation strategy or developing a practical out-of-court resolution to potential litigation, we consider all factors and options, always moving forward to find the best solution for each particular client.
