Biography

For over 50 years, Bruce Sperling has been winning record-breaking and game-changing jury verdicts, court judgments, and arbitration awards for plaintiffs and defendants in high-stakes litigation.

Experienced in virtually every area of the law, Mr. Sperling has favorably resolved wide-ranging commercial disputes for Fortune 500 companies, privately held enterprises, and individuals. His cases have included securities, antitrust, patents, trade secrets, corporate governance, real estate development and construction, bankruptcy, foreclosure and reorganization, mass torts, insurance coverage, environmental, and ERISA matters.

Renowned for his litigation skills and successes, Mr. Sperling is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and a Mensa International member.

Mr. Sperling began his career at an old-line Manhattan law firm, where after just three years, he was made the youngest partner in that firm’s history. In 1976, he co-founded Sperling & Slater, which later merged with Kenny Nachwalter, expanding the firm’s footprint and its powerful litigation capabilities.
