Yankwitt LLP Named Top Commercial Litigation Firm in New York by Chambers USA for Fourth Consecutive Year

Managing Partner Russell Yankwitt also receives top honors in the commercial litigation category

White Plains, NY (June 11, 2024) – Yankwitt LLP, Westchester County’s go-to law firm for high-stakes, bet-the-company litigation, has been recognized by Chambers USA as a leading commercial litigation firm for the fourth year in a row. Yankwitt LLP continues to be the only Westchester-based law firm featured in Chambers’ prestigious commercial litigation tables.

Russell Yankwitt, the firm’s founder and managing partner, has been honored again this year in the Litigation: General Commercial category.

“We are thrilled and honored to be featured in such a prestigious resource,” said Yankwitt. “While we deeply appreciate the recognition, our greatest pride comes from the trust and respect we receive from our clients, the legal industry, the broader Westchester and New York communities, and the judiciary. We are always gratified to hear, ‘If you need a litigator or trial attorney in Westchester, call Yankwitt LLP.’.”
The rigorous selection process for Chambers USA involves submitting work examples that demonstrate the firm’s excellence and feedback from references the firm has worked with over the past year. Responses this year include:

• “[Yankwitt LLP] is strategic, strong counsel who really cares.”
• “The firm always responds and takes the necessary time to discuss whatever is needed.”
• “I am extremely impressed by their thoughtful approach to all issues.”
• “I cannot recommend [Russell] highly enough.”
• “Russell is a fierce advocate who gets results for clients. He is my go-to lawyer.”
• “Russell is very articulate and persuasive. He is also skilled at being several steps ahead.”

Yankwitt LLP has established itself as a powerhouse litigation firm in Westchester County. With one of the largest litigation teams in the area, the firm represents businesses and high-net-worth individuals in a wide range of disputes. The firm frequently serves as trial counsel for local law firms and is often called upon by national law firms to handle cases that fall outside their scope or present conflicts of interest.

Yankwitt attributes much of the firm’s success to its rigorous attorney recruitment process. “We have specific criteria for the attorneys we hire,” said Yankwitt. “All of our counsel and partners worked at top NYC law firms and have served as a federal prosecutor or federal law clerk, or both. We have found that this background produces the best creative litigators and persuasive legal writers.”

In addition to the Chambers USA recognition, Yankwitt LLP has received accolades from Benchmark Litigation, Super Lawyers, and Best Lawyers. The firm was also inducted into the Business Council of Westchester’s Hall of Fame with the Small Business Success Award, one of the most coveted honors for a Westchester County business.
