Joel represents companies and C-suite executives and law firms and lawyers in a broad range of complex commercial disputes. These matters involve securities transactions, finance and lending arrangements, complex instruments and derivatives, mortgage securitizations, mortgage servicing, and other financial matters. Joel advises on real estate, executive movement and employment disputes.
