Greg has represented institutional and individual clients in a wide range of complex commercial litigation.  His practice includes prosecuting and defending contract and real estate disputes, business torts, director and officer liability, trade secret misappropriation, statutory liability, insurance coverage, and consumer sales practices and warranty claims.

Greg has managed all aspects of commercial litigation in both state and federal courts and various arbitration forums, including pre-trial evaluation, traditional discovery, e-discovery, mediation, trial, and appeal.  His experience and attention to detail allow him to identify key themes and anticipate potential issues early on in the litigation process, ensuring that each stage of litigation is geared toward developing maximum leverage for the client and the most compelling case for trial.  Greg has worked with clients in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, retail, software and technology, healthcare, automotive, transportation, and banking and financial services.  Throughout a case, he enjoys learning about each client’s particular business at a deep level, and strives to become a subject-matter expert on each facet of the business that impacts the litigation.
