Wasser | Russ attorneys recognize that success in business favors the bold and courageous, and on having an accomplished and experienced support team in place. It takes more than dreams to cross the finish line. You need business attorneys who understand your company’s goals and commit to adopting them as their own. That is the Wasser | Russ pledge to your business.
Most people are loath to become entangled in a lawsuit because going to court is a lengthy, expensive and emotionally draining process. But when litigation becomes the only recourse, we forcefully prosecute your claims and defenses. We team up with our clients as tenacious allies and fearlessly pursue their objectives.
Real estate is a dynamic and complex business requiring sophistication tempered by common sense and practical ability to pierce through the static to “get the deal done.” Wasser | Russ goes beyond writing and reviewing contracts to perform due diligence on the financing, architects, contractors and project managers that support the deal.
Our experienced attorneys offer a depth of sophisticated insurance experience unusual in a small firm environment. We provide comprehensive counseling, litigation, arbitration and transactional services to insurance companies, reinsurers and general agents and third-party claims administrators.
The world of fine art and collectibles is a dynamic and captivating field. But there are traps for the unwary and even good faith participants are vulnerable to the actions of unscrupulous parties. Understanding the nuances of authenticity, ownership and fraud in Art Law allows us to protect the rights of our clients. We work with private clients, auction houses and collectors. Wasser | Russ also provides services to clients with respect to their disposition of artworks, such as private sales and consignments. Discretion and confidentiality for the buyer and seller is always a priority.
Meticulous estate planning saves families heartaches and reduces the tax burden. Many approach estate planning merely as a way to bequeath their property and, finished with their plans to distribute their money, believe their planning is done. But when a decedent dies, the family is left behind. For sure, money is important, but so too is recognizing longstanding, deeply emotional love and bonds as well as jealousies and envy. Thoughtful estate planning can affirm the love and family ties. Compassion, empathy, insight and experience are key to Wasser | Russ estate planning.
