Commercial Litigation

Michael Schneider has over twenty years experience representing corporate and individual clients in a wide array of litigation matters involving diverse and complex issues. These include contractual disputes, disputes arising out of the purchase and sale of goods and services, real estate disputes, international commercial disputes, trust and estate litigation, disputes relating to the licensing of intellectual property, fiduciary wrongdoing, asset ownership disputes, claims relating to the wrongful interference with business and business opportunities, disputes relating to charitable and religious organizations, claims relating to the wrongful use of the corporate form, health and safety disputes, tax disputes and construction disputes. We represent clients in state and federal courts, arbitration tribunals and appellate courts.

The Firm works with governmental authorities, including the New York State Attorney General’s Office and the United States Attorneys Office, in matters of overlapping jurisdiction and interest. Additionally, we advise clients in structuring agreements and settlements so as to minimize the risk of future litigation.

We take an aggressive, yet conservative approach when litigating on behalf of our clients. We extensively research and prepare our cases, even during the initial phases of a trial. We only represent our clients in hearings, depositions, meetings or trials if we are fully prepared. We don’t make representations on behalf of our clients unless we have thoroughly researched the law and are confident that our assertions are in our clients’ best interests.

Once we have done our homework, we zealously represent our clients’ interests. We are skilled and experienced commercial litigators and will use all of our knowledge and experience to ensure that you get the results you want.

We recognize that some cases are best settled before trial and others are best taken to trial. We will counsel you as to the advantages of the different strategies and give you an honest assessment of whether or not you should settle. If settlement is the best option, we will use our extensive negotiation experience to bring about a result that meets your needs.
