Louis A Russo - Profile

I assist both domestic and international companies and their executives in resolving intricate commercial litigation conflicts through pragmatic and cost-effective pre-litigation negotiations and, if necessary, pursuing legal action (federal and state), arbitration, and mediation. I make it a priority to comprehend my clients' businesses as thoroughly as they do and work diligently to attain their desired results ideally without resorting to litigation. My clients have grown to expect that I will offer candid yet valuable legal counsel that enables them to assess critical risks and make prompt decisions. I have effectively represented clients in a diverse array of disputes encompassing corporate governance, failed business partnerships, commercial deceit, as well as other issues related to financial services, securities fraud, maritime charter disagreements, and alleged violations of restrictive covenants (such as non-compete and non-solicit agreements). My caseload varies in terms of scale and complexity. For instance, I recently managed to settle a disagreement involving software development and ownership rights in an emerging tech startup through negotiations, thus averting litigation. However, I am also routinely involved in more intricate commercial disputes where tens or hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake. Apart from my role as a dedicated commercial litigator, I actively contribute as an author and speaker in the realm of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and serve as an adjunct professor in International Commercial Arbitration. I have been recognized as a Rising Star (NY Metro Super Lawyers) in 2017, 2018, and 2019. https://www.russolaw-llc.com www.linkedin.com/in/russolawllc
