Biography

Alan is an accomplished and versatile litigator with broad experience resolving complex commercial disputes. His practice is defined by a sophisticated understanding of high-stakes business, corporate, estate and real estate conflicts. He represents clients in litigation in New Jersey and New York federal and state courts, and in mediation and arbitration proceedings.

Alan has demonstrated expertise in representing business owners, partners, and shareholders in high stakes disputes where the future of the entity is often at issue, including business dissolutions, oppressed shareholder actions, partnership split-ups, and complex buyouts and forced sales. Raised against the backdrop of a closely held family business, he understands the pitfalls and practicalities of operating a business entity, a perspective that is critical to his representation of clients in these types of matters.

He serves as a strategic advisor to property owners, developers, general contractors, design professionals, community association boards, and other clients in real estate litigation involving contractual rights, purchases, sales, construction and brokerage matters, environmental issues, and valuations. His comprehensive experience ranges from ground leases and condominium litigation to construction warranty and estate-related property disputes.

Alan provides support on employment issues, workplace disputes, and employment-related investigations. His diverse experience encompasses the representation of public entities including schools and municipalities, as well as the representation of healthcare providers in professional disputes and licensure issues. He has also handled specialized disputes including the defense of class actions, Consumer Fraud Act claims, and intellectual property cases.

Throughout his career, he has also represented parties, including executors and beneficiaries, in estate disputes and litigation.

Certified by the New Jersey Superior Court as a civil mediator, Alan is an American Arbitration Association arbitrator and mediator. He sits on the AAA’s Employment, and Commercial and Business Panels.
