Rosenfeld & Kaplan, LLP is a dynamic litigation boutique located in the heart of midtown Manhattan. We have decades of experience representing small and large businesses, limited liability companies and corporations and individuals, in federal and state courts, administrative proceedings and arbitrations as well as international forums. Our attorneys have a wealth of experience in all aspects of commercial and civil litigation, domestic and international arbitrations, mediations, and white-collar criminal matters.
Our cases include several groundbreaking legal decisions, such as the New York Court of Appeals decision in Kramer v. Phoenix Insurance Co., et al., in which the Court held that New York law allows a person to procure an insurance policy on his or her own life and then transfer or sell the policy without restriction to a hedge fund, bank, or other investor. Rosenfeld & Kaplan also defended the management of two high-profile feeder funds that were named as defendants in Madoff-related litigations in both federal and state court, and successfully negotiated a global settlement of those matters on terms favorable to our clients. We also successfully prosecuted large-scale litigation on behalf of Condominium Boards and developers resulting in multi-million dollars settlements. We have handled many high-profile cases that have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, as well as other newsworthy publications and legal periodicals.

Our Approach
We analyze each case carefully and use our judgment and experience to determine the best strategy for each situation. We know that litigation can be both time-consuming and expensive, and therefore, we work diligently and attentively to obtain the best outcome for our clients in the most cost-efficient way. Our commitment to fight hard for our clients and our record of success in court often allows us to obtain highly advantageous results early on in a case. We have obtained multi-million-dollar settlements for claims pending in courts in New York and throughout the country.
If litigation becomes necessary, however, our clients can depend on our aggressive, experienced litigators to perform at the highest level, bringing quality, skill, and competence to depositions, hearings, trials, and other aspects of litigation. Our attorneys are prepared on short notice to move swiftly to seek restraining orders and other forms of interim relief. At all phases of the litigation process we identify resources that can be brought to bear on any given problem as part of our efforts to resolve matters expeditiously.
We have also represented clients before a number of arbitration tribunals, and have a broad base of experience mediating on behalf of our clients. Regardless of our approach, Rosenfeld & Kaplan always keeps our clients’ needs in mind in order to obtain a result that furthers their objectives and is in their best interests.
