With nearly twenty years of experience in litigation and at trial, I offer clients legal representation in all phases of commercial dispute resolution, with an emphasis on problem-solving, efficiency, and hard-nosed, sophisticated lawyering. Slarskey LLC employs an independent, flexible approach, which enables us to align our interests with our clients, often on a success fee basis, and to share in the value created by our work. Together with our clients, we have achieved tremendous results since 2014.Previously, I was Counsel in the litigation department at Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP, an elite, American Lawyer "A-List" law firm in New York, representing clients of various sizes in a wide-range of commercial disputes: from financial insurers in plaintiff-side litigation against Wall Street banks; to a major pharmaceutical company in contractual, intellectual property, and advertising disputes; several law firms, defending against professional negligence claims; and a number of clients in disputes related to real estate. I have been recognized by Super Lawyers as a top-rated business litigator in the Metro New York area for several years. I have served on the Judiciary Committee of the New York City Bar Association, which rates the fitness of judicial candidates for the bench, the Litigation Committee, and currently the Professional Responsibility Committee. The Legal Aid Society of New York has twice recognized me for my pro bono service. And I was also appointed as Secretary to the New York State Bar Association's Task Force on the Future of the Legal Profession. Prior to attending law school, I served as Chief of Staff to the City of New York / Department of Parks & Recreation, and received the I. Donald Terner Resident Fellowship in Social Entrepreneurship, from BRIDGE Housing Corporation, a nationally-recognized leader in affordable housing development.
