Contracts. Capital. Corporate accountability.
Complex disputes. Clear strategic command.
A financing unravels. A business partner diverts assets. An investment venture breaks down after years of work. The dispute may turn on thousands of documents and a handful of decisions. Lindenfeld Law represents people and businesses in complex commercial litigation, with a senior trial lawyer responsible for mastering the record and directing the case.
Eric Lindenfeld’s experience spans secured-credit enforcement, digital-asset investment products, commercial lending, corporate fraud, fiduciary disputes, and cross-border proceedings. His record includes establishing liability and defeating summary judgment in commercial disputes involving more than $100 million in obligations and claims. We bring that experience to disputes requiring financial fluency, disciplined investigation, and a clear account of what the evidence proves.
The work
Disputes over negotiated obligations, failed ventures, payment, and performance. We examine how the transaction was structured, what each party undertook, and how the written record bears on the breach and the relief sought.
Claims involving misrepresentations, concealed information, self-dealing, and diversion of assets. We trace the decisions and financial consequences, identify the responsible parties, and test the account against the documents.
Contested lending arrangements, secured obligations, guaranty enforcement, and receivership proceedings. Close attention to the financing documents and available remedies informs a strategy grounded in the client’s recovery objective.
Litigation involving investment agreements, cryptocurrency, exchange-traded products, and the economics of financial ventures. We translate technical structures and financial evidence into a coherent theory of liability and loss.
Conflicts involving founders, investors, directors, and business partners. We examine the governing agreements, the exercise of authority, and the movement of information and money, with attention to the enterprise as well as the dispute.
Commercial disputes that extend across courts, countries, or arbitral forums. We address the relationship between the proceedings, the evidence available in each, and the procedural choices that can shape the case.
Our approach
We begin with the client’s objective, the documents that define the parties’ rights, and the financial consequences of the challenged conduct. We examine the strongest defenses early. The central task is to identify which facts will carry the case, what additional evidence is needed, and which decisions can move the dispute toward a useful resolution.
Eric personally directs the work, from the first strategic assessment through dispositive motions, discovery, negotiation, and trial preparation. Advanced litigation tools help us investigate dense records and test connections across evidence. Experienced judgment determines what to pursue, what to challenge, and how to present a complicated dispute with clarity and force.

Questions
Start with the key agreements, a short chronology, important correspondence, and documents showing the financial consequences. Identify the parties and any existing proceedings. You do not need to organize an entire litigation record before making contact; the initial discussion can help determine which materials matter most.
Potentially. We consider the strength of the evidence, the likely recovery, the work required, collection prospects, and litigation risk. Depending on the matter, we offer contingency, hybrid, fixed, capped, and hourly arrangements. The fee structure is discussed and agreed for the particular engagement.
We look at the client's objective alongside the proof, potential defenses, costs, and realistic paths to relief. The size of an alleged loss is one consideration. Timing, business relationships, ongoing operations, and the other side's ability to satisfy a judgment can also shape the strategy.
