Emil Hirsch has extensive experience in civil litigation (trials and appeals) in federal and state courts particularly in matters involving real estate, securities, corporate governance, RICO, creditors’ rights, commercial law, bankruptcy, finance and cross-border disputes.

These matters also include disputes between members of the same family whose business and personal relationships have fallen into disharmony.

Mr. Hirsch has also served as an expert witness in state and federal court litigation on a number of issues, including corporate governance, fraudulent conveyances and preferential transfers, administration of business affairs during a Chapter 11 reorganization, custom and usage involving the utilization of term sheets and reasonableness of fees.

He has tried over 500 fully contested bankruptcy disputes, primarily in Chapter 11 cases.
