We have the expertise and experience found at large New York law firms. But unlike most of our competitors, we handle only disputes. We practice from a single office in New York, with smaller teams and significant partner involvement. These choices help us avoid conflicts of interest and keep down costs. The result is a firm purpose-built for today s market and dedicated to winning your cases cost-effectively. Chaffetz Lindsey focuses on three areas: Commercial Litigation International Arbitration Insurance and Reinsurance Dispute Resolution We have a record of success in each of these areas. We enjoy our work, and our clients enjoy working with us. A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO THE ESTABLISHED INDUSTRY HEAVYWEIGHTS.
