Since the days when Charles Evans Hughes, Sr. was the most prominent advocate in private practice in the U.S., clients have turned to us for help with their highest-risk business litigation matters. 

Our Complex Business Disputes group comprises an interdisciplinary team of attorneys experienced in all phases of bet-the-company conflict, from crisis management and reputational defense through management of disputes fought on multiple judicial, arbitral, regulatory and law enforcement fronts at the same time.  We plot dispute avoidance and resolution strategy by understanding our clients’ businesses and appreciating their commercial objectives.  The success of our overall approach is demonstrated by the number of high profile disputes our clients entrust to us.  These include:

  • A historic and precedent-setting victory for a financial institution before New York State’s highest court regarding litigation financing.
  • Earning a favorable outcome as lead trial counsel in the first-ever case to be tried simultaneously in the U.S. and Canada arising from a multi-billion-dollar telecommunications bankruptcy.
  • Successfully defending a pharmaceutical manufacturer in a $43 million breach of contract action involving Medicaid rebates.
  • Defending a major investment bank against the largest-ever FINRA arbitration involving unfair competition claims brought by a rival wealth manager.

Collaboration with the client and teamwork shape our approach to litigation. We pick arguments with both our audience and the client’s objectives in mind. Many of our largest commercial litigation clients have remained with us for decades, relying on our deep understanding of their businesses.

Hughes Hubbard’s Complex Business Disputes practice encompasses a broad spectrum of legal areas at the trial and appellate levels, including securities, financial services and banking, corporate governance, LLC disputes, professional liability, bankruptcy-related matters, labor and employment, contract disputes, administrative law, art law, insurance disputes, intellectual property, white-collar crime and corporate compliance and antitrust.  The practice dovetails with our market-leading practices in arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
