About Andrew Stanton

I am a litigator who represents clients across a broad range of industries, jurisdictions, and areas of law. I have tried numerous cases to juries, judges, and arbitrators and have argued appeals before federal circuit courts and state supreme and appellate courts. I also regularly provide strategic advice to clients on risk management and litigation avoidance in connection with transactional and other corporate matters.I concentrate my practice in high-stakes disputes. Most recently, I have successfully defended financial institutions in litigation arising out of residential mortgage-backed securities, obtained an arbitration award in favor of the founding owner of a professional sports franchise in a multibillion dollar valuation dispute, and obtained complete dismissal of an unfair competition claim seeking over $200 million in damages. I have substantial experience litigating disputes arising out of mergers and acquisitions, including post-closing claims for indemnification, disputes over money held in escrow, earn out disputes, and post-closing purchase price and working capital adjustment claims. I also have represented policyholders seeking insurance recovery for third-party bodily injury and property damage claims, first-party property damage, and business interruption losses.I serve on the board of directors of Communities in Schools of Allegheny County, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and assisting at risk students.
