Position

Craig Reiser represents clients whose reputations are on the line in complex, bet-the-company litigation, with a focus on defending global law firms facing malpractice and breach-of-duty claims and defending high-stakes antitrust class actions.

Craig’s litigation experience spans federal and state courts across the country—at both the trial and appellate level—as well as arbitral tribunals.

He has defended malpractice and breach-of-duty claims against major international law firms, in numerous forums, with collective exposures in the billions. He is currently representing a global law firm in federal bankruptcy court, has represented numerous major law firms in connection with malpractice claims arising from various commercial transactions, and won a precedent-setting dismissal of a $7 billion putative class action brought against a global law firm by non-client investors. In addition, Craig serves as a member of Axinn’s professional responsibility committee.
