Paul S. Grossman

Paul S. Grossman is a Partner in the Litigation department who represents corporate clients in a wide range of complex commercial litigation matters before state and federal courts and American and international arbitral tribunals. His practice concentrates on intellectual property, including patent and trademark litigation, as well as on securities law, breach of contract, real estate, antitrust, creditors’ rights, business torts, and employment disputes. Paul has also guided clients through a broad array of corporate matters.

Across his career, Paul has managed every stage of the litigation process. His work spans planning overall case strategy, from drafting pleadings, conducting discovery, handling extensive motion practice, trial, and appeals. He negotiates and drafts settlement agreements and mediation statements, argues motions, appears for court conferences, and prepares matters for trial.

Clients benefit from a litigator who is as comfortable in the appellate courtroom as he is managing high-stakes trials. Paul has argued appeals before the United States Courts of Appeals, the New Jersey Appellate Division, and the New Jersey Supreme Court.  In one notable case, Paul successfully argued before the New Jersey Supreme Court that a portion of a particular municipal ordinance was unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution.

Paul has handled numerous bet-the-company litigations on behalf of sophisticated commercial clients, including a national stock exchange, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of office furniture, and several regional banks.  Paul handles litigation matters on behalf of clients ranging in value from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Paul earned his J.D. from Fordham University School of Law in 1992, where he served as Notes and Articles Editor of the Fordham Law Review. He received his B.A. cum laude in History from Dickinson College in 1989. His published scholarship includes “Appellate Jurisdiction for Civil Forfeiture: The Case for the Continuation of Jurisdiction Beyond the Release of the Res,” 59 Fordham L. Rev. 679 (1991), which was cited favorably in People v. $8,921 United States Currency.
