| General Experience: | Mr.
Goldstein began his career as a commercial litigator in federal and New
York State courts. Arbitration has overtaken litigation in his practice
only in the past five years. Mr. Goldstein has continued to handle and
try complex cases in the courts throughout his career. His transition to
solo practice has not altered the balance between his work as an
arbitrator and his work as trial lawyer in complex litigations and
arbitrations. His 2007 docket has included cases in the United States
District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York, the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and the District of New Jersey, as
well as several cases as an advocate before international arbitral
tribunals. Where appropriate to serve a client on a large litigation,
Mr. Goldstein will affiliate on a co-counsel basis with major law firms
in New York or elsewhere, to provide clients with the benefit of his
judgment, skill, and experience, together with the human resources and
large-litigation infrastructure available in large law firms. |
