New York Local Counsel and Co-Counsel for Out-of-State Firms

When out-of-state companies are drawn into litigation in New York courts, their counsel often seek experienced local guidance. Justice Saxe serves as New York local counsel and strategic co-counsel to national and regional firms whose clients are litigating in New York. Drawing on more than three decades on the New York judiciary—including 19 years on the Appellate Division, First Department—he provides practical insight into procedural expectations, judicial perspectives, and litigation dynamics specific to New York courts.

These engagements frequently involve complex commercial matters pending before the Commercial Division of the New York State Supreme Court, New York County, as well as appeals within the New York appellate courts.

Justice Saxe works collaboratively with existing counsel without competing for the underlying client relationship, offering trusted “home-field” experience while maintaining continuity for the client.
