Litigation Boutique · New York

Senior counsel, from the first call to the final ruling.

Callahan, Ferraro & Nazari is a New York litigation boutique. Three partners take a deliberately small number of significant disputes — and try them personally, without handing your matter to a junior associate.

Partners — the whole firm
The Firm

We built a small firm on purpose. A partner who carries a limited docket can give a matter the judgment, preparation, and attention that decide it — the things a large firm rations and a boutique can afford to spend in full.

Our clients are individuals, executives, and closely held businesses facing disputes that matter to them — in the courtroom, before regulators, and on appeal. Whatever the forum, the lawyer you retain is the lawyer who does the work.

Practice Areas

A focused practice, tried by hand.

We concentrate on four kinds of high-stakes dispute. Depth in a few areas serves a client better than breadth across many.

Complex Commercial Litigation Contract, partnership, and fiduciary disputes for closely held businesses and their owners — through trial when settlement isn't right. View → Employment & Executive Disputes Discrimination, retaliation, and the exit of senior people — compensation, non-competes, and reputation, on either side of the table. View → White-Collar Defense & Investigations Government inquiries, subpoenas, and internal investigations — managed quietly, before a matter becomes a headline. View → Appellate & Critical Motions The briefs and arguments that turn a case — brought in by trial counsel when the record, and the writing, have to be right. View →

In a client's words
“Two larger firms treated my case like a line item. Callahan, Ferraro & Nazari treated it like the only file in the office — and it showed in the result.”
