About Aaron Marks
I am widely recognized as one of the top litigators in the country, including in the most recent editions of Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business (\"brilliant and analytical - a real star at the firm,\"\"excellent tactician,\"\"very effective and well prepared,\"\"very understanding and sensitive to the needs of in-house counsel\").My practice focuses on complex commercial litigation relating to breach of contract and fiduciary duty, fraud, unfair competition, mergers and acquisitions, capital structure disputes, real estate, entertainment, mass torts and trade secrets. I represent corporations, private equity and other investment firms, multi-national financial institutions and individuals in state and federal courts throughout the country, before arbitration panels, and in proceedings involving the Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice and various states’ attorneys general. I have extensive trial experience, including having served as first chair representing companies in several significant cases. My recent work includes representing AMC Networks in a lawsuit by the creator of the hit series \"The Walking Dead\" and one of two billionaires engaged in a multijurisdictional brouhaha involving claims of defamation and several other torts. I have also recently represented The Blackstone Group, Coach and Google.I have also been recognized in Legal 500 (recognized as one of the 45 Leading Trial Lawyers in the U.S; a leading Trade Secrets attorney); Euromoney, Benchmark Litigation: The Definitive Guide to America’s Leading Firms and Attorneys; and New York Super Lawyers. And, I was profiled as one of the nation’s most accomplished litigators under the age of 45 by The American Lawyer magazine.Disclaimer: This material may be considered attorney advertising under certain rules of professional conduct.
