Acting as Local Counsel in Business Litigation Cases

Local Counsel Assistance

We act as local counsel to in-state and out-of-state lawyers who do not practice corporate and/or business litigation who find themselves litigating in New Jersey.  In addition to appearing before all twenty-one (21) County Superior Courts, we also practice in each of the state’s federal courts.  Our experience and familiarity with the federal and state court rules and procedures can be indispensable to firms and their clients less familiar with the nuances of NJ practice.  We also understand and respect your close attorney-client relationship and carefully define our role as local counsel to align with the needs of the client and their attorneys.  If requested, we stand ready to handle the full scope of services needed by a client involved in a litigated matter.  We provide this representation with our commitment to value, efficiency, and effectiveness.

Out-Of-State Attorneys

We typically assist out-of-state attorneys in a variety of ways, including:

  • Prepare and file motions including pro hac vice
  • Advise on strategy and local state practice rules.
  • Handle personal service and court filings.
  • Ensure compliance with time periods for filing discovery.
  • Provide out-of-state attorneys with background intelligence on local judges and arbitrators.
  • Serving subpoenas for documents and testimony.
  • Filing and arguing motions to compel compliance with subpoenas.
  • Domesticating subpoenas and foreign judgments.
  • Enforcing judgments against New Jersey based judgment debtors.
