James Orth

A skilled and strategic advocate for complex corporate disputes

I engaged James Orth at Nelson Mullins to represent our mid-sized technology firm in a complex shareholder dispute that involved allegations of securities law violations and breaches of fiduciary duty. From our initial consultation, it was clear that James's recognized expertise in Commercial Litigation and Litigation - Securities, as noted by Best Lawyers, was well-founded. He demonstrated a nuanced understanding of both the legal intricacies and the underlying corporate governance issues at play. His strategy was not just reactive but proactive, helping us navigate compliance pitfalls while aggressively pursuing our position. The depth of analysis he brought, rooted in his experience with matters at this intersection of law, was invaluable. James is a sharp, dedicated attorney who inspires confidence. My only minor critique, which prevents a perfect score, is that during particularly intense phases of the litigation, communication response times could occasionally stretch to a day or two. However, when we did connect, his updates were thorough and his guidance was precise. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any company facing high-stakes corporate or securities-related litigation in New York.
