Focus Areas

Contract Disputes

Contracts are a necessary part of nearly every business dealing. And at their core, they’re expectation managers. But when circumstances change, so do the minds of those involved. When that happens, we’ll be there to protect your best interests.

Business Torts

Sooner or later it happens to every business—one person’s misconduct puts your reputation and even your client relationships into jeopardy. Your recourse? Work with our experienced team to bring forth a business tort claim to recover damages and begin repairing your most important intangible assets.

Shareholder Litigation & Business Divorce

The end of a business relationship can be as traumatic as the end of a personal one. And with all the assets involved, just as messy—if not more so. Our team digs into the details of your situation to strategize the way to getting you what you deserve.

Trade Secrets & Intellectual Property

While companies go to great lengths to protect their trade secrets and intellectual property, sensitive information has its way of attracting unwanted attention. Our litigators take the necessary steps to prove trade secret status and pursue non-disclosure and non-compete agreements to the fullest.

Government Investigations & Enforcement Actions

There’s no notice more alarming than learning your company is being put under investigation by the government. Following that initial touchpoint, we can help craft a formal response aimed at limiting the scope and duration of the investigation.

Article 78 Proceedings

If you’ve received a decision from a New York State agency (Department of Social Services, a housing authority, etc.) that you disagree with, call us immediately to get the paperwork underway. Article 78 proceedings must be filed within four months of the initial decision.

FINRA Arbitration

Rupp Pfalzgraf provides aggressive, creative, and efficient representation of brokerage firms and registered investment advisors in arbitration proceedings before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Whether facing investor claims or employment disputes, our team will guide you through the process every step of the way. We quickly digest the facts of each case and develop and deploy strategies specifically tailored for each individual case and client. Disputes before FINRA, much like litigation before courts, are more like chess than checkers, and so we stay several moves ahead to maintain maximum leverage and achieve favorable outcomes for our clients.
