NEW YORK (May 8, 2017) – Loeb & Loeb LLP announced today that Gil Feder and Evan K. Farber have joined the firm’s New York office as partners in the Litigation Department.

The pair brings significant experience litigating a wide range of business matters, with a particular focus on complex commercial, partnership and joint venture disputes involving real property.

“Gil is a veteran commercial litigator with more than 40 trials under his belt, representing some of the most prominent New York property owners and developers in matters at both the state and federal levels,” said Daniel G.

He also represents clients in employment disputes and restrictive covenant litigations. In addition to his extensive trial and appellate experience, Feder has handled arbitrations and mediations before the American Arbitration Association and JAMS. His clients include some of New York’s largest hospital groups, leading financial institutions, REITs, celebrities and high-net-worth individuals and families with large real estate holdings.  

Farber’s diverse commercial and corporate litigation practice encompasses a broad range of complex contract disputes, real estate, financial industry and insurance recovery matters.
