Seiden Law Welcomes Back Andrew Sklar as Counsel

King & Wood lawyer Andrew Sklar joins Seiden Law LLP’s Litigation and Regulatory team in the New York office.

Sklar, who previously worked as an associate at Seiden Law before a four-year hiatus at King & Wood’s New York office, rejoins the firm as Counsel. Sklar’s practice focuses on complex commercial litigation, the enforcement of arbitral awards and foreign judgments, and U.S. sanctions and export-controls matters. His work has included defending an international technology manufacturer against a $2.5 billion trade-secret claim in New Jersey federal court, confirming a $60 million arbitral award in a California federal court, and securing a corporate client’s removal from the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security’s Unverified List. He regularly advises clients listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on sanctions and export-controls issues.

His experience includes representation of international entities in federal and state courts and before the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control and the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security.

“We are honored that Andrew is back at Seiden Law and joins our growing team of outstanding professionals as we take some of the most complex and fascinating matters for our diverse clients across the globe,” said Robert Seiden.

Sklar holds a J.D. from New York University School of Law, where he received the Witkin Award for Excellence in Criminal Law and served as Senior Notes Editor of the NYU Journal of Legislation and Public Policy, and a B.A., cum laude, from the University of California, Davis.
