Law Firm Overview

The New York office of Foley was founded on the strength of our attorneys' highly regarded litigation services. With that solid foundation, our New York attorneys can leverage their litigation experience to enhance our other nationally recognized practices including securities, financial, and commercial litigation as well as provide the full range of corporate legal services to our national and international clients.

A Focus on Litigation
Our New York attorneys concentrate the bulk of their practice on commercial litigation in both state and federal courts as well as arbitration, mediation, and alternative dispute resolution, with a focus on hedge funds, financial services, and professional liability. During the past several years, we have handled cases involving commercial contracts, antitrust, construction delays, leases, banking relationships, sports, entertainment and media, suretyship, insurance, products liability, bankruptcy, intellectual property (IP), franchise litigation, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) matters, and various business disputes. Additionally, our New York attorneys have extensive experience in securities enforcement, regulatory, and white-collar criminal defense work.

Sophisticated Trademark and Copyright and General Business Law Services
The New York office also has a substantial practice focusing on trademark and copyright enforcement and litigation. As part of the firm's nationally recognized and ranked IP Litigation Practice, this focused team of attorneys represents national and multinational corporate clients in enforcement, litigation, and related counseling work on trademark, trade dress, copyright, trade secret, and advertising matters.

The Business Law attorneys in New York also provide comprehensive legal advice and counseling on the most sophisticated and complicated business and legal issues confronting our clients. Our Business Law Department serves clients ranging from investment banks and Fortune 100 companies, to entrepreneurs and emerging growth companies, and the small- and middle-market companies in between. We represent domestic and international companies spanning the globe, and assist non-United States domiciled companies with their unique legal and business needs.

Clients of our New York office also benefit from Foley's nationally recognized Bankruptcy & Business Reorganizations Practice, which offers extensive services in all aspects of bankruptcy law. Additionally, the New York office focuses its practices on real estate, trusts and estates, employment, and general business and not-for-profit matters, including formation, finance, and operation.
