Richard is Counsel with Freedman Normand Friedland LLP. His practice focuses on complex commercial litigation, focusing on banking, fintech, real estate, securities fraud, bankruptcy, and business torts.
Richard has litigated for over a decade in federal and state courts, both at the trial and appellate levels. He has also represented clients in all major alternative dispute resolution forums. Richard is particularly adept at navigating and identifying the nuances of litigating in New York’s federal and state courts. He is currently representing a fund manager defending against allegations of gross negligence and misconduct in a JAMS arbitration and is representing a major apparel company against a competitor’s allegations of unfair competition and misappropriation of trade secrets. Clients seek Richard’s advice to resolve disputes pre-litigation and for creative, outside-the-box thinking when litigation is necessary.
