About
Provided by Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP
More than one half of Patterson Belknap’s attorneys are devoted to litigation. The litigating partners at Patterson Belknap have tried hundreds of cases, including many of the most complex in their fields. One client has described us as "courtroom artisans." We are not afraid to go to trial, and our clients—and our adversaries—know it. We are accustomed not only to trying cases, but to delivering the results our clients want and that cases merit. In many situations of course, settlement may be the best option. In those instances, our reputation and track record should enhance our clients' chances for a favorable settlement. We represent Fortune 500 corporations, including multinational pharmaceutical manufacturers, media conglomerates, and financial services institutions. In addition, we represent foreign governments, state-owned enterprises, major banks, brokerage firms, pension funds, insurance companies, individual officers and directors of large companies, major investors, entrepreneurs, and closely held corporations. The kinds of commercial cases our firm handles are just as broad: contract disputes, antitrust matters, accounting litigation, class actions, securities and commodities cases, insurance coverage litigation, employment litigation, real estate suits, and disputes among corporate shareholders.
