Neal Marder is a seasoned trial lawyer with a diverse civil litigation practice. He works with in-house counsel, senior management and boards of directors for companies, oftentimes facing multimillion dollar, high-profile, bet-the-company business disputes. Neal heads the firm’s consumer class actions practice and brings his nearly 35 years of experience as lead trial counsel to bear in defending against class action suits of all types. He defends against securities litigation and consumer fraud class and mass actions and has done so with a high rate of success: dismissals at the pleading stage, rulings striking entirely or narrowing class claims, decisions denying class certification and highly favorable settlements are all among the results he regularly delivers to clients. Neal also handles a broad range of other litigation, including business and consumer torts, intellectual property, securities, white collar, RICO and real estate. In addition to trying over 25 cases, he also has extensive experience in arbitrations and cross-border litigation.
