David Wright

I practice primarily in business-related litigation and have extensive litigation, trial and arbitration experience. I have served as lead counsel in litigating cases involving novel and complex issues relating to banking, corporations, partnerships, employment, professional liability, estates and fiduciary issues, and business valuations. These matters have included as a central goal the economic survival of the company for family. Among others, these representations include a $7.5 million trial judgment for minority shareholders resulting from a squeeze out merger and the enforcement of statutory dissenters rights for fair value; a Big 4 accounting firm defense on multi-million dollar class action claim, involving both traditional and novel theories; a professional liability defense of a law firm in seven figure claim relating to 25 or more underlying cases involving bank lending issues and bank regulatory issues, including federal administrative proceedings and federal tort claims; defense of bank against lender liability theories; international arbitration, defending damage claims seeking $10 Million plus in damages; New York arbitration of joint software development contract; defense of employment cases, including class actions involving federal and state law claims; and a divorce case establishing value and a property award judgment arising from complex and fractionalized ownership of multiple closely held businesses, with ownership spread over three generations. I have been a speaker and author on arbitration, shareholder disputes, minority shareholder claims, and lender liability.
