Sher Tremonte

Litigation

Justin counsels clients in complex business disputes. A thoughtful and tenacious advocate, he has served as lead counsel in multiple trials and regularly represents clients in federal and state courts, and in domestic and international arbitrations.

Justin has achieved victories on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants in a wide range of high-stakes matters, including cases involving contract disputes, allegations of fraud and securities fraud, business breakups, professional liability, breach of fiduciary duty claims, trust and estate issues, covenants not to compete, and disputes over intellectual property and trade secrets.

Justin also advises clients in regulatory and criminal investigations. He has successfully defended clients against allegations of insider trading, market manipulation, government corruption, accounting fraud, antitrust violations, and tax fraud.

Justin thrives on complex issues, taking a strategic approach to finding solutions where others have failed. Clients laud his creativity, credibility among judges and opposing counsel, and unflagging commitment to achieving superior outcomes on their behalf.

Before founding Sher Tremonte, Justin practiced at Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP and Kobre & Kim LLP, served as a Special Assistant District Attorney for the Kings County District Attorney’s Office, and, prior to law school, worked for the Financial Frauds Bureau of the New York County District Attorney’s Office.
