Our focus on creating and nurturing multi-year, lasting relationships has allowed us to help our clients avoid litigation and arbitration in many instances. Litigation or arbitration, however, is not avoidable in every situation. Sarmasti PLLC’s aggressive yet detail-oriented and analytical approach to each case has allowed the firm to represent and resolve clients’ matters pursuant to terms that are favorable and satisfactory to them.
During the past 16 years, Sarmasti PLLC has represented new and existing corporate and business clients in arbitration or litigation matters in New Jersey and New York state and federal trial courts, and before arbitrators of the American Arbitration Association relating to:
- Complex business disputes
- Breach of contract
- Commercial transactions
- Consumer fraud
- Civil fraud
- Civil RICO
- ERISA
- Unfair trade practices
- Temporary restraining orders
- Preliminary Injunctions
- Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) litigation
- Partnership, shareholder, and membership disputes
- Class actions
- Employer/employee disputes
- Employment discrimination defense
- Insurance litigation
- Restrictive covenants
- Commercial landlord/tenant litigation
- Real Estate litigation
- Construction litigation
- Defamation litigation
- Commercial loans
In addition to serving its own clients, Sarmasti PLLC also serves as local counsel to firms practicing outside New York or New Jersey. The firm is also often enlisted as conflict counsel to firms practicing in New York and New Jersey. When enlisted as local counsel, Sarmasti PLLC’s attorneys are considerate of the existing attorney-client relationship between the out-of-state firms and the clients they represent, and therefore solely focus on providing those firms local experience and knowledge to help the outside firms better serve their client’s needs in the litigation.
