Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Greg is a commercial litigator who represents a wide spectrum of clients in complex business and employment disputes in state and federal courts across the country. He also represents clients in matters administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the American Arbitration Association (AAA), and the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR). Greg’s clients are diverse and include Fortune 500 companies, private equity firms, public entities, closely held corporations, and individuals. He represents both plaintiffs and defendants in high-stakes litigation. Greg does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to litigation but, instead, he thinks strategically, evaluates his clients’ positions and desired outcomes, and works tirelessly to achieve the best possible result.
