About

Provided by Friedman Kaplan Seiler Adelman & Robbins LLP

Friedman Kaplan litigates cases of national and international significance on behalf of major institutions in a variety of industries and has become a go-to firm for high-stakes, high-profile, and complex disputes.

We have represented clients in some of the most prominent commercial disputes of the last decade. While each of these matters has been unique, they all have involved novel legal issues and unprecedented factual scenarios for which there is no "playbook" to fall back on – circumstances under which our attorneys particularly shine. We bring to such situations a unique combination of commercial sophistication, legal insight, and creativity to help our clients achieve their goals, even – and especially – in the most challenging situations.

Our clients know us as responsive, collaborative, strategic, and efficient. Judges know us for our creativity and insight, and our ability to think on our feet and expertly navigate areas of emerging law. To our colleagues at other firms, we are top-tier attorneys with a proven record of integrity and success, whom they can trust to represent their clients in instances where conflicts or other business considerations prevent them from doing so.
