Complex & Commercial Litigation

At Diserio Martin O'Connor & Castiglioni LLP, our  Litigation Department  handles trials and appeals in state and federal courts in Connecticut, New York and selectively in other states. Our business litigation practice includes general representation of Connecticut and New York based businesses. Also, we regularly represent out-of-state corporations in connection with Connecticut and New York litigation. Our litigators have broad experience in complex actions requiring substantial attorney resources, legal research, litigation planning, information technology and organizational skills.

Business Disputes

Business disputes can spell financial disaster for individuals and companies. When these disputes lead to litigation, the costs are compounded dramatically. At Diserio Martin O'Connor & Castiglioni LLP, we understand the expense, both tangible and intangible, of protracted commercial litigation. By proper planning and staffing, we are able to aggressively represent our clients in sophisticated actions-often at a fraction of the cost of our larger competitors in the New York area.

We are always mindful of the costs associated with the litigation process and, where appropriate, seek creative and results-oriented alternatives to the traditional trial process.

Product Liability and Mass Tort Litigation

Diserio Martin has represented scores of consumer and commercial product manufacturers, including some Fortune 100 companies, directly and occasionally through their insurers in MDL, state, and federal litigation as National Coordinating, Regional and Local Counsel.  Our recent cases have involved a variety of industry sectors, including:  household products; industrial chemical, machinery and products, neutraceuticals; ethical pharmaceuticals; recreational products; asbestos; mold, lead paint and environmental claims.

Legal expertise and creativity, sophisticated case management, comprehensive electronic discovery capabilities, expert witness data banks, the ability to quickly and thoroughly analyze relevant medical and scientific literature, savvy media relations, and a cost-conscious approach assist us in protecting our clients' interests and effectively managing large, high exposure claims.

Insurance Coverage, Risk Management and Risk Avoidance

At Diserio Martin, our attorneys work with the world's largest insurers and reinsurers and have provided analysis, successful litigation, and successful mediated results obtaining coverage and resolving claims involving hundreds of millions of dollars.  We also recognize the importance of businesses being proactive, and we regularly counsel our clients concerning pre-marketing and post-marketing issues including labeling and advertising, regulation compliance, and regulation monitoring.
