About Russell Yankwitt

I am founder and managing partner of Yankwitt LLP, an elite trial and litigation law firm based in Westchester County, NY. I started Yankwitt LLP in 2009 at my kitchen table and now have a team of more than 20 lawyers and professional staff with offices in White Plains, and Atlantic City, NJ. To provide our clients with the best legal counsel possible, we are particularly strategic in how we hire attorneys. I look for candidates who attended top law schools and/or graduated at the head of their law school classes, clerked for federal judges, worked at leading NYC or national law firms and/or served as federal prosecutors. It’s not an easy checklist to fulfill, but I am proud to say that we have amassed an impressive team. We strive to be the “go-to” Westchester law firm for our clients and attorney colleagues. The firm represents businesses and high-net-worth individuals across a broad range of litigation matters in the federal and state courts in Westchester and the surrounding counties. We also routinely handle complex cases in Westchester on behalf of New York City and national law firms and often serve as trial counsel for other local law firms on their high stakes matters. The types of matters on which we focus Include: -Business Litigation | Contract Litigation | Shareholder Disputes | Business Divorces-Employment Litigation | Employment Discrimination | Restrictive Covenant and Employment Contract Violations |⠀ Workplace Harassment | Wage and Hour Disputes | Family and Medical Leave Act Violations-Hospitality Litigation | Premises Liability Defense -Professional Liability| Lawyer and Accountants Malpractice-Whistleblower Litigation -White Collar Criminal DefenseClient satisfaction is my number one concern. I expect everyone at Yankwitt LLP to study and truly understand the client’s business and work with the client to implement a litigation strategy that will achieve the type of success the he or she wants. We build close, trusting relationships with our clients and work tirelessly on their behalf to achieve their desired outcome. I pride myself on aggressively pursuing optimal results – be it through fierce negotiations to achieve a favorable settlement or employing tactical litigation skills to try a case to verdict – and I expect these qualities from all Yankwitt LLP attorneys. Based on our reputation among the bar, the judiciary and our clients, we’ve achieved that. If you are looking for counsel in any of the areas of practice listed above, please contact me at russell@yankwitt.com or 914-686-1500.
