Glen H. Waldman focuses his practice on
the trial of complex business, commercial and probate litigation
matters. In the commercial field, he has tried cases, both jury
and non-jury, in areas such as construction, real estate, contracts,
insurance, fraud, fraudulent transfers, trademark infringement,
partnership disputes and banking. In addition, Mr. Waldman represents
and advises a number of businesses relative to their contractual
relationships, internal controls and procedures and other
legally-related matters. In the commercial litigation arena, he has
obtained numerous jury verdict awards in both the seven and eight
figures range, and successfully defended claims of equal size. He has
had similar success in the probate courts. In addition, he has
significant international arbitration experience (both ICC and AAA).
Moreover, Glen has a long history of involvement in the area of
reinsurance and has been frequently called upon by various London based
entities, including Lloyds of London syndicates, market companies and
runoff companies, to represent their interests with regard to disputes
throughout the United States. This includes rendering opinions on
complicated reinsurance issues, as well as guidance through
commutations with both active reinsurers, self-insured funds and
entities in liquidation or receivership proceedings. He has handled
numerous arbitrations and has significant experience on issues
involving sunset and commutation clauses. He has also lectured in
London to various reinsurance industry professionals on a number of
issues.
