Litigation

Cohen and Wolf, P.C.'s Litigation Group represents businesses, municipalities and individuals in a broad spectrum of substantive areas involving litigation, including administrative law; appeals; bankruptcy; business and commercial disputes; construction; employment; environmental; insurance coverage; professional negligence; real estate (foreclosures, summary process, tax appeals and zoning); and securities. Cohen and Wolf was recently recognized as a Leading Firm in Connecticut in the area of General Commercial Litigation by the 2009 Edition of Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business. Cohen and Wolf was also selected by American Lawyer Media's Corporate Counsel® magazine as a "Go-To Law Firm®" for financial services companies in the area of litigation.

Attorneys in the Group regularly appear in federal and state trial courts throughout Connecticut and before administrative agencies such as the Connecticut Banking Commission, the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, the Connecticut Siting Council, and various municipal boards and agencies. Members of the Group also appear in the appellate courts of Connecticut and in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in a wide variety of cases.

The Group is committed to the effective and efficient use of pretrial discovery and other procedural tools throughout all phases of litigation to keep matters on track while encouraging an atmosphere conducive to settlement where appropriate. In recognition that most litigated matters are settled before trial, the Group is also committed to the use of alternative dispute resolution when appropriate, and has extensive experience in both mediation and arbitration.

Many of the attorneys in the Litigation Group are also members of the firm’s Employment & Labor, Securities, Municipal, Personal Injury, or Land Use & Zoning Groups.
