Overview

We are routinely engaged as local counsel by national and international corporations of all sizes and by major multinational AmLaw 100 firms to meet their regional litigation needs. Our respected attorneys offer more than a familiar face in the courtroom; as local counsel, we provide unique insight in approaching and developing case strategies for state and federal matters throughout New Jersey and New York.

The combination of our attorneys’ experience, work ethic, knowledge of local judicial culture, and, most importantly, the depth and strength of the firm’s litigation bench, puts our firm at the forefront of the litigation bar as go-to litigators for complex litigation, including high-profile or “bet the business” disputes.

In serving as local counsel, our attorneys draw on the unique experience of our former deputy attorneys general, assistant US attorneys, and state prosecutors, as well as our retired judges, including New Jersey State Supreme Court Justice Gary S. Stein (Ret.), Hon. Ellen L. Koblitz, P.J.A.D. (Ret.), Hon. Ronny Jo Siegal, J.S.C. (Ret.), and Hon. Stuart Peim, J.S.C. (Ret.).

We serve as local counsel in a wide variety of corporate and business litigation matters, including intellectual property, criminal defense, administrative matters, toxic torts, class actions, and MDL matters. As local counsel, we provide conscientious and professional guidance in navigating our regional courts, and serve as a trusted partner to corporate counsel, litigation departments, and law firms.
