About

Provided by Lowenstein Sandler LLP


We are recognized for the successful representation of clients in matters ranging from business and securities litigation to white-collar defense. With strength across practice areas, our work and experience span the breadth of litigation matters our clients may face. For instance, institutional investors come to us when they are being pursued by regulators or when they or their portfolio companies have been damaged by others. Household names in the life sciences, financial services, technology, energy, and health care industries trust us with complex class actions, internal investigations, and multidistrict litigation, as well as their most sensitive employment, environmental, and insurance issues.


We have tried and arbitrated scores of cases throughout the United States and internationally, including high-stakes class actions, commercial and intellectual property disputes, and tort claims. Our team includes former federal prosecutors and a certified civil trial attorney who has first-chaired more than 100 jury trials to verdict.


While our litigation lawyers have the skill and experience to try cases in any jurisdiction in the country, we understand that protecting our clients often requires avoiding the business interruption and unwanted public exposure caused by extensive litigation. Our clients return to us again and again when the stakes are highest, knowing that we will work tirelessly on their behalf to achieve favorable results in line with their business goals.
