Josh is a creative and tenacious advisor with a record of success in the courtroom and a proven ability to advance client interests outside of litigation.
Josh is a Partner in Dorsey’s Commercial Litigation Group. Josh has a broad practice that spans many areas of business law and civil litigation. His specialties include: (1) advising on and litigating fiduciary matters—including matters related to entity governance, director and officer duties, trusts, estates, and other professional/financial fiduciary duties; (2) drafting, revising, and litigating contracts of all sizes and kinds; and (3) advising on and litigating particularly complex civil issues—i.e., where a matter involves erudite judicial doctrine or challenging procedural questions, Josh is often called up on due to his intellectual curiosity, creative argumentation, and his ability to contextualize and simplify legal concepts.
Aside from those specialties, Josh also has significant experience advising on torts, employment disputes, appeals, regulatory issues, health care, shareholder disputes, securities, constitutional issues, trade secrets, and matters involving financial fraud.
