Our Firm
Binder & Schwartz is an elite litigation firm representing companies, partnerships, investment funds, and individuals in their most consequential disputes and investigations.
Focused by design
Every client works directly with a tight-knit, dedicated team of experienced litigators who bring the commercial understanding and strategic focus that high-stakes litigation and sensitive investigation require from day one.
Built for the most demanding cases
Our lawyers have handled some of the most technically complex commercial and financial disputes litigated in federal and state courts, and we are regularly engaged when the matter is too important, complicated, or difficult for a less focused or collaborative team. We also have substantial experience navigating matters where government enforcement and civil litigation run in parallel, a complexity that demands exactly the kind of coordinated, senior-level attention that defines how we work.
Exceptional at every level
Our lawyers come from leading national and international firms, and have served as Assistant U.S. Attorneys in the Southern District of New York. We recruit for intellectual rigor, excellent judgment, and the collaborative instinct to think through the hardest problems together. We are a small firm by design, and every lawyer reflects our high standards.
Prepared to see it through
Our lawyers are experienced before juries, judges, and arbitrators, and we prepare every case as though it will go to trial. The demonstrable ability to take a case through trial is often the most effective path to resolution. Because we maintain a deliberately focused practice, we are rarely conflicted out of a matter, meaning that when you need us, we are available, prepared, and completely in your corner.
