Litigation

Leah Friedman represents individuals and public and private corporations in both plaintiff- and defense-side litigation involving high-stakes commercial disputes, white collar investigations, bankruptcy-related litigation and class actions. Leah’s work involves all phases of litigation in both federal and state court, including drafting pleadings and briefs, assisting in the examination of witnesses, managing discovery review and production, and preparing witnesses for depositions, interviews and cross-examination. Most recently, Leah helped lead the litigation team in a multiweek bench trial in the Southern District of New York representing a financial services provider in contract disputes with former business counterparties including a national exchange. Leah was also a key member of the trial team that successfully represented the co-founder and owner of a large, privately held corporation in an expedited trial in Delaware Chancery Court seeking dissolution of the company due to corporate deadlock.
