New York, NY (PRWEB) November 01, 2016 -- Phillips Nizer LLP welcomes commercial litigator and trial lawyer Julian D. Perlman as a partner in the firm’s Litigation, Antitrust, and Fashion Law practices in its New York office.
Mr. Perlman joins Phillips Nizer from the New York office of BakerHostetler LLP. He began his legal career with Proskauer Rose LLP.
Representing businesses, entrepreneurs and investors in inter- and intra-company disputes, Mr. Perlman has significant experience in handling trial and arbitration matters to their conclusions.

At BakerHostetler, he was a member of the trustee’s team of attorneys who handled the recovery and distribution of over $11 billion from the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme, and while at Proskauer, played a key role in winning a unanimous jury decision for the ATP World Tour in a far-reaching antitrust verdict for professional sports.
“Julian’s skills and experience well complement our strategic litigation focus. He will be an outstanding addition to a department with a long tradition of excellence,” said Mark M. Elliott, the Chair of Phillips Nizer’s Litigation Department.
