Why Seiden Law?
Every problem has a solution.
From complex commercial litigation to regulatory enforcement and sanctions, the path forward often appears daunting. Our Firm paves the path forward.
Strategies most firms overlook.
When matters cross borders, a conventional litigation strategy breaks down. We win and clients come to us for the tools the rest never use.
Jurisdiction battles, from either side
The long-arm statute cuts both ways, and we work it in both directions. We pull foreign adversaries into U.S. jurisdiction where our clients hold the procedural and strategic advantage of home-court litigation. And we defend foreign clients dragged into U.S. courts when jurisdiction should not attach, dismissing claims that do not belong. In one recent matter, we brought a Chinese national into U.S. court to answer for conduct that injured U.S. investors.
Reversing designations with strategy, not paperwork
No sanctions case is the same. We bring surprising and fresh solutions, digging deep into the facts to find angles that turn weaknesses to advantage. We delist clients from the SDN list, secure specific licenses that restore access to the U.S. financial system, and reverse designations under Global Magnitsky and other sanctions programs.
Securing leverage through court-appointed receivers
Appointing a Receiver is a powerful equitable remedy to preserve the assets of corporations and protect the rights of creditors. Managing Partner Robert W. Seiden has been appointed as receiver in over 30 federal, state, and international matters involving distressed, mismanaged, and runaway entities often found in contempt of court.
Unlocking U.S. discovery for foreign proceedings
Section 1782 lets parties in foreign litigation compel discovery from people and entities located in the United States. It is one of the most undervalued tools in international dispute resolution, and we use it to surface evidence that would otherwise be unreachable. We are deploying it now on behalf of the Republic of Malawi, compelling discovery from a U.S. company in support of the nation’s criminal and civil investigations.
Finding the money before the case is filed
Most firms file first and chase assets later, often discovering, after winning, that the judgment cannot be collected. We invert the order. Ensuring assets are preserved secures the possibility of recovery for our clients.
Wherever you need us, we go.
Clients come to us from around the world, and we follow their matters wherever those go, into U.S. courts and through the financial and legal centers of Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the Americas, and the Caribbean.
Elite Counsel.
Unparalleled Access.
A team of trial lawyers, former prosecutors and U.S. attorneys, investigators, and forensic accountants, trained at some of the world’s largest firms.
We stay small enough that senior counsel are reachable directly, and quick to respond. Clients are treated like family because we know their matters by heart, not by file number.
