Recognized in Best Lawyers since 2001 
Alan Albert is a nationally-honored trial lawyer who has represented clients from Muhammad Ali to multinational corporations across the country in a broad array of commercial and corporate governance disputes, white-collar criminal investigations and prosecutions, intellectual property litigation, labor and employment litigation and environmental litigation.
The breadth of Alan’s experience is reflected by his recognition in The Best Lawyers in America for 30 years, culminating in his present recognition in nine distinct categories – including business litigation, white-collar criminal defense, intellectual property litigation, patent and trademark litigation, trademark law, environmental litigation and governmental relations. He has been recognized as “Litigator of the Year” by Best Lawyers in both patent litigation and intellectual property litigation, and as the criminal lawyer of the year by Virginia Business in its compilation of that state’s “Legal Elite.”
Alan’s experience in two of the nation’s most prominent federal venues – the district courts of Delaware and Eastern Virginia’s “Rocket Docket”– make him a highly sought-after advocate in those courts, especially in high-stakes intellectual property and business disputes. As a member of the Delaware bar and Managing Partner of the firm’s Delaware office, Alan also litigates regularly in Delaware state courts, including the Court of Chancery, often referred to as “America’s Business Court,” in which he defends fiduciary claims against officers and directors, litigates corporate governance battles, and handles specialized Delaware corporate actions including merger and acquisition challenges, contested director elections, and books and records demands.
In the public and civic sphere, Alan has served as a top policy and legal adviser to governors, the executive director of a state political party, general counsel to numerous campaigns, and as chairman and a longtime member of Virginia’s Board of Conservation and Recreation, which oversees Virginia’s award-winning state park system and conservation programs throughout the Commonwealth. He also has served as a board leader for arts and cultural institutions, including the Virginia Opera, the Virginia Symphony and Virginians for the Arts.
