Partner Chris Palermo reviewed the Fifth Edition of Business and Commercial Litigation in Federal Courts in the May issue of Westchester Lawyer, the monthly magazine of the Westchester County Bar Association. The Fifth Edition added 26 new chapters on subjects of importance to commercial litigators, including Artificial Intelligence; Climate Change; Congressional Investigations; Corporate Litigation Reporting Obligations; Corporate Sustainability and ESG; Litigation Management by Judges; Third-Party Litigation Funding; and Virtual Currencies.

The Fifth Edition of Business and Commercial Litigation in Federal Courts, spanning 16 volumes, is a comprehensive procedural and substantive guide for commercial litigators and gets Chris’s complete endorsement. In his review, he observes that “the authors have been mindful to make their work a useful resource both for those already well-versed in a particular subject matter as well as those not previously familiar with it.” He also adds that it “provides a treasure trove of expert guidance to a litigator preparing to try any case, commercial or otherwise, as it includes a large number of substantive topics not normally associated with commercial litigation.” The Fifth Edition also provides extensive perspective from the bench. Among the principal authors are no less than 32 distinguished current or former judges.

Chris is a member of both the New York City and White Plains offices. He served as Secretary to the Commercial Courts Task Force, appointed by New York’s Chief Judge to create the Commercial Division of the New York State Supreme Court, and is an appointed member of the Commercial Division Advisory Council, which advises the Chief Judge on matters concerning the Commercial Division.
