Civil Litigation

The Freedman Firm represents businesses, executives, professionals, and individuals in arbitration, mediation, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). For many disputes, ADR offers a more efficient, private, and cost-effective path to resolution than courtroom litigation — while still requiring careful preparation and persuasive advocacy.

Civil claims made under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) can be among the most damaging and disruptive lawsuits a company or individual can face. The RICO Act’s civil provisions allow private plaintiffs to seek treble damages, attorneys’ fees, and sweeping injunctive relief based on allegations of fraud, misconduct, or ongoing criminal activity. Even when meritless, these claims create significant financial and reputational exposure.

The Freedman Firm represents individuals and families in complex civil rights litigation involving abuse of power, government misconduct, and violations of constitutional rights. These cases often arise from deeply personal and traumatic events and demand careful judgment, credibility, and unwavering advocacy. Our attorneys bring extensive courtroom experience and strategic insight to matters where accountability and justice are paramount.

Our attorneys have extensive experience litigating complex business cases in federal and state courts, arbitrations, and mediations, as well as in concurrent regulatory and white collar proceedings. As former prosecutors and experienced civil litigators, we understand that the best business solutions often require both legal skill and strategic foresight. We analyze every case through the lens of trial preparation — a proven approach that drives early leverage in negotiations and produces credible outcomes at trial when needed.

Employment disputes require a careful balance of legal strategy and practical insight. We understand that these cases frequently unfold under intense scrutiny — internally, publicly, and sometimes alongside regulatory or criminal investigations.

Our attorneys are experienced trial lawyers who regularly handle disputes involving allegations that attract media attention and public interest. Drawing on our combined experience in business litigation and white collar defense, we develop strategies that protect our clients both in the courtroom and beyond it.

FCA investigations often begin with a whistleblower (or “relator”) filing a qui tam lawsuit under seal and urging the government to intervene. For companies, executives, and professionals, these cases can pose not only substantial financial risk, but also potential criminal exposure and reputational harm.
