Litigation, Investigations, & Trial Practice
With our multidisciplinary, team-based approach, we help clients manage their most critical litigation issues across a diverse spectrum of industries. We handle disputes from pre-litigation through appeal and appear regularly in state and federal courts.
Our New York office advises clients across a broad range of complex litigation in antitrust, bankruptcy, business torts, class actions and multidistrict litigation, commercial disputes, financial services litigation, fraud, health care, intellectual property, labor and employment, white collar and regulatory enforcement. We also advise on commercial disputes arising from financial transactions, post-closing merger and asset sales disputes, product liability claims, and shareholder litigation.
New York litigators and trial lawyers in our White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement Group have been routinely recognized by Chambers USA for their investigation and litigation experience. Clients regularly turn to us for our long and proven record of success defending and counseling across the full spectrum of government investigations, regulatory enforcement actions, internal investigations, and when needed, at trial.
Transactions & Corporate Practice
Our New York corporate team has deep experience in the health care, financial services, and fashion industries, and counsels clients on strategic corporate and commercial matters, including agreements pertaining to intellectual property licenses, international distribution and supply, and marketing and advertising. The office works in tandem with the firmwide transactions and corporate team, which regularly advises public and non-public corporations and investors in a wide range of corporate governance and transactional matters, including bankruptcy restructurings, financing, M&A, private placements, and securities offerings.
Regulatory Practice
Crowell & Moring is at the forefront of national regulatory matters before federal and state agencies. That includes the New York office, where our team helps clients navigate complex regulatory challenges by leveraging the experience of 100 former government officials throughout our firm who have held pivotal positions in the U.S. and abroad. Additionally, our international policy and regulatory affairs affiliate, C&M International, helps multinational corporations and the industry associations that represent them influence policies and legislation that maximize commercial success.
