Andrew Finkelstein

Expert guidance through a complex partnership dispute

Our small tech firm was navigating a difficult and potentially destructive dispute with a former business partner over intellectual property rights and contractual obligations. The situation was complex, and we needed counsel who could grasp the commercial realities quickly. Andrew Finkelstein was recommended to us, and his background in Corporate and Commercial Litigation was immediately evident. His recognition by Best Lawyers in this specific field gave us confidence from the outset. Andrew, drawing on his experience from both Toronto and his practice in Boston, provided a clear, strategic assessment of our position. He was pragmatic, focusing on a resolution that protected our core business interests without unnecessary escalation. His advice was always thorough and he explained legal nuances in a way we could understand, which was invaluable. The matter was resolved favorably, saving us significant time and resources. The only minor critique would be that during particularly busy periods, response times to non-urgent emails could occasionally stretch to a couple of days. However, when it mattered, he was always available. We would not hesitate to engage Andrew and the team at Chernos Flaherty Svonkin LLP again for future corporate legal needs.
