Case Studies
The following is a representative sampling of matters our firm successfully led:
We obtained a sizeable seven figure settlement in an action for breach of fiduciary duty brought by minority shareholders against the directors of a successful high-tech company in connection with the dilution of their interests by means of self-dealing recapitalization transactions engineered by the company’s directors.
We obtained a large recovery on behalf of a New York not-for-profit corporation whose managing director embezzled funds from the organization.
We successfully voided numerous fraudulent transfers in order to retrieve assets improperly placed beyond the reach of creditors.
We successfully defended our client against claims arising out of a complex set of transactions involving trust funds, settling such claims for a de minimis amount and thereby enabling our client to avoid significant potential liability.
We obtained sizeable judgments on behalf of our corporate client against parties who fraudulently induced our client to enter into an air cargo transportation contract.

We obtained a substantial settlement for our client in the precious metals business in an action we brought in federal court against an insurance broker arising out of the broker’s misleading sale of an unsuitable Lloyds of London property insurance policy.
We have helped many parties advance their business transactions, including negotiating, drafting and reviewing the key transactional documents.
