Mr. Fertig’s practice spans complex commercial litigation, including class actions and MDL proceedings, in state and federal trial and appellate courts around the country, arbitration proceedings in a variety of domestic and international fora, intellectual property disputes, including before the US Patent & Trademark Office and Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and pre-litigation counseling and alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

He has previously defended the company and affiliates in multi-hundred million dollar disputes relating to insurance coverage, insurance claims adjustments, and real estate developments.

In one notable arbitration involving breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty claims, Mr. Fertig secured a favorable award, following a week-long hearing, that exonerated Lehman Brothers of any wrongful conduct and awarded the company all of the costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees it incurred in defending against the petitioner’s claims.

Other clients which Mr. Fertig has represented and/or counseled include GlaxoSmithKline, Cosmair/Redken, UnitedHealth Group and its various affiliates, Yeshiva University, and the Randall’s Island Sports Foundation, Inc., among others.
