Consultant Services for Other New York Lawyers

Partnering With Fellow Attorneys in Civil Litigation

Over the past three decades, our firm has built a reputation for handling complex civil litigation in New York’s state and federal courts. Along the way, we have frequently been called upon by other attorneys to lend our insight, experience, and courtroom skill.

Whether you are a solo practitioner managing an overwhelming case, or a firm seeking additional trial or appellate support, we provide consultant services for lawyers that strengthen your client’s position and enhance your advocacy.

Why Other Attorneys Turn to Us

Civil litigation is demanding. Between motion practice, discovery disputes, oral argument, and trial preparation, even seasoned attorneys can benefit from the perspective of experienced co-counsel.

Attorneys across New York have engaged our firm to:

• Consult on strategy in complex civil prosecution and defense.
• Monitor ongoing cases, providing behind-the-scenes feedback on filings, discovery, and trial posture.
• Supplement legal writing, from dispositive motions to appellate briefs.
• Enhance oral argument preparation, either by mooting counsel or appearing in court as co-counsel.
• Guide litigation procedure in state and federal courts all over New York.

We see our role as empowering other lawyers — helping them deliver the best possible outcome for their own clients.

The Value of Decades of Experience

With more than 40 years of litigation practice, our attorneys have appeared in nearly every civil context imaginable:

• Business disputes and commercial torts
• Breach of contract litigation
• Injunctive relief applications
• Federal diversity and federal question cases
• Appeals to New York’s Appellate Divisions and the federal Second Circuit

This breadth of experience allows us to quickly identify strengths and weaknesses in a case and provide practical, actionable guidance.

Co-Prosecution and Co-Defense

Sometimes consultation naturally evolves into a deeper role. We are frequently retained by other lawyers to co-prosecute or co-defend cases when the stakes are high and additional firepower is needed.

Examples include:

• Partnering with a solo attorney in a commercial fraud case with substantial money damages.
• Assisting other or out-of-state attorneys in defending a federal litigation in New York.
• Serving as appellate counsel to refine arguments for a matter headed to the New York state and federal appellate courts.

Our flexible approach allows us to fit seamlessly into your litigation team — whether as background strategists, brief writers, or courtroom advocates.

Services Offered to Attorneys

Strategic Consulting

We provide comprehensive evaluations of case posture, likely outcomes, and procedural strategies. This includes identifying potential counterclaims, weighing dispositive motions, and assessing trial risk versus settlement.

Litigation Monitoring

For attorneys who want a second set of eyes, we track filings, hearings, and deadlines, ensuring your case remains on the strongest footing. Our monitoring often reveals overlooked arguments or procedural opportunities.

Legal Writing Support

With decades of motion practice and appeals under our belt, we draft and refine:

• Dispositive motions (summary judgment, motions to dismiss)
• Discovery motions
• Injunction applications and oppositions
• Appellate briefs

Oral Argument and Trial Support

We assist in preparing attorneys for oral argument through mooting and feedback, or we can appear as co-counsel for oral argument, trial, or appeal. Our trial-readiness enhances your client’s case without undermining your role as primary counsel.

Why Lawyers Trust Us

• Confidentiality: We respect the attorney-client relationship. When we consult, your client remains your client.
• Collaboration: Our goal is to strengthen your advocacy, not overshadow it.
• Experience: Three decades of litigation has honed both our substantive knowledge and our courtroom instincts.
• Credibility: Certain Judges and opposing counsel recognize our firm’s presence as a sign of serious, prepared litigation.

As the New York State Bar Association notes, the practice of law “requires competence, preparation, and diligence.” We provide fellow attorneys with precisely those qualities when they seek guidance on difficult cases.
