About

Provided by Brithem LLP

Brithem LLP is a New York-based trial boutique doing the kind of impact work most firms a hundred times its size can’t touch. Founded by nationally recognized trial lawyers Michael Bowe and Lauren Tabaksblat, the firm is built around a singular focus: deploying elite courtroom advocacy to secure exceptional results in every type of litigation with velocity and efficiency.

The firm’s lawyers try cases across real estate, financial fraud, civil RICO, and civil rights, with a record including landmark verdicts, precedent-setting rulings, and victories in some of the most closely watched litigation of the past two decades.

The team is currently representing, in a landmark federal lawsuit, more than 200 victims, including some 50 minors, of sexual abuse material distributed by Pornhub’s parent company, Aylo (formerly MindGeek), and monetized by Visa; and is prosecuting a landmark racial equality case on behalf of Blueprint Capital Advisors, New Jersey’s largest Black-owned asset manager, against BlackRock, Owl Rock, and state officials.

Brithem lawyers have also:

  • Spearheaded landmark litigation dubbed a “Wall Street Battle Royale” by Vanity Fair, restoring billions in market cap, triggering the largest insider trading conviction in U.S. history.
  • Won complete recovery in a $200 million partnership litigation setting precedent on fiduciary duties among partners.
  • Compelled a bank to surrender a distressed Miami Beach hotel note for a fraction of its worth via civil RICO claims.
