About Scott M. Berman

I have a varied practice in complex commercial disputes, particularly in securities, hedge fund, fraud, and bankruptcy litigation. I regularly handle matters involving securities fraud, common law fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, fraudulent conveyance, and other claims arising from complex transactions. Amongst others, I advise large institutional investors, bankruptcy trustees, receivers, family offices, funds of funds, investment advisors, officers and directors and wealthy individuals in high-profile matters involving investment funds and their auditors, administrators, prime brokers, and other professionals, and have procured significant settlements. I also counsel investors and funds regarding investment decisions and potential issues before litigation has commenced and have resolved many matters pre-litigation. My practice includes representing both plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts, including at trial and arbitration, and significant experience handling cross-border disputes. I also act as an arbitrator in cases involving financial disputes and have twenty years of experience serving as a mediator.Representative matters available at office: 7 Times Square, New York, NY 10036,(21••••••20.
