Litigation

The attorneys in our litigation group offer more than just consummate litigation skills. Perhaps their most important function is to furnish advice on how to avoid litigation, working in concert with and complementing the work of our firm’s other departments. However, if you do become involved in litigation, our attorneys will represent your interests knowledgeably, imaginatively and vigorously. Because we are sensitive to the ever increasing costs of litigation, we also will explore with you alternatives to litigation, such as alternative dispute resolution, arbitration and mediation.

Our litigators serve all clients needing representation in civil, administrative and certain criminal matters. If the venue for a particular proceeding is outside New York State and the retention of local counsel is advisable, we will seek to engage, on our client’s behalf, a quality firm with the appropriate capabilities. Regardless of the role local counsel plays, we will remain fully responsible for coordinating the representation of our client, which will be done in both an effective and cost-efficient manner.
Our litigators are experienced in such diverse areas as:

    • Entertainment law
    • Loan recovery and lender liability
    • Mortgage foreclosures
    • Antitrust, unfair competition and other trade regulation matters
    • Employment disputes and discrimination claims
    • Contractual claims
    • Real estate litigation
    • Commercial and residential landlord-tenant litigation
    • Cooperative and Condominium litigation
    • Copyright and trademark infringement
    • Securities law
    • Criminal and quasi-criminal matters

Whether you are before a state or federal court, prosecuting a complex commercial claim or defending a “garden variety” contract action for damages, you need counsel who is thorough, energetic, creative and capable of a high level of written and oral advocacy. You also want a skilled negotiator if settlement is desirable. Warshaw Burstein Cohen Schlesinger & Kuh, LLP offers you all of these qualities, in addition to the strong belief in the practice of “preventative law” as the best way to keep you out of the courts.
