The Commercial Litigation Group of Marzano Lawyers PLLC focuses on providing representation tailored to the special interests of international clients. Its transatlantic litigation, combining U.S. and European offices, makes for an economical litigation strategy where the firm delivers a more affordable and seamless transatlantic foreign representation. The accountability for local counsel in every location adds an additional dimension of cost-effectiveness to litigation for its clients.

The firm's international lawyers possess vast experience in handling commercial litigation work in more than 20 countries, including Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Brazil, and China. Marzano Lawyers PLLC handles a diverse range of issues, including contract disputes, financing, debt recovery, fraud, shareholder claims, partner disputes, and employment-related matters. Through close coordination with clients, the firm comes up with results-oriented strategies targeted at protecting business interests and favorably resolving cases.

Marzano Lawyers PLLC's approach to international commercial litigation is an appellate-focused trial strategy, whereby all cases are prosecuted or defended with a view toward long-term appellate protection. The firm works in tandem with appellate attorneys to provide clients with comprehensive trial counsel and detailed guidance throughout the litigation process.

Marzano Lawyers PLLC offers pretrial discovery services in the U.S. for clients in international litigation; thus, important evidence may be gathered, and witnesses can be deposed before a foreign jurisdiction's lawsuits are filed or defended. These cover pharmaceutical, IT, and so-called fashion manufacturing industries, while the firm has a perfect track record in guiding a wide spread range of businesses through both commercial disputes and international arbitration by way of breach of contract, intellectual property conflicts, as well as employment defense issues.

Matrimonial Law and Appeals

Matrimonial law and the appeals originating from matrimonial actions are rather complicated. Such appeals usually follow from decisions regarding divorce, child custody, the equitable distribution of property, spousal maintenance, and other relevant matters. The right to appeal decisions that significantly affect the merits of a case, according to civil procedure law, is normally available to litigants under interlocutory appeals.

However, there is no right of appeal in a family court case, such as an interim order granting child custody, unless leave to appeal is granted by the court concerned. For that, one needs to be more careful. Matrimonial actions filed in the Supreme Court generally carry an automatic right of appeal to the Appellate Division on questions of divorce, custody, division of properties, and maintenance issues.

Marzano Lawyers PLLC has extensive experience handling complex matrimonial appeals, including those related to equitable distribution, spousal maintenance, and prenuptial agreements. Although the right to appeal exists, the firm advises clients to carefully consider the potential outcomes. An appellate attorney's primary duty is to assess the likelihood of success and provide informed guidance before pursuing an appeal.

If a judgment is against your rights or even in the process of appeal, Marzano Lawyers PLLC is able to help decide on an appropriate action to achieve a desired outcome. For those who have benefited from a favorable judgment that is now subject to an appeal, the law firm offers urgent legal counseling to safeguard their rights.
