Steve Feldman, Global Chair of Latham’s Complex Commercial Litigation Practice, represents clients as lead counsel in high-stakes litigation matters, and as a strategic advisor on litigation strategy, risk, and management. In addition to being recognized by multiple publications, including Chambers USA, Benchmark Litigation, Law360, and The Daily Journal, as one of the nation’s top litigators, Steve is described by clients as “masterful both in court and in the c-suite,” as “having a true ‘360’ view of how any litigation fits in with our business strategy,” and as a “go-to outside advisor.”

From securing full trial victories in trade secret, fiduciary duty and competitor disputes for companies such as T-Mobile and Scilex Pharmaceuticals, to obtaining a series of massive IP, Lanham Act, and consumer class action victories for Peloton Interactive, to winning a 9-figure arbitration award in a breach of contract action for a biotech client, to winning a high-profile art fraud case for Alec Baldwin, Steve is lauded as a litigator who “can stand up in court on any type of case, and win.” He has defeated significant false advertising consumer class actions for companies including Allergan and Nutraceutical at the motion to dismiss stage.

Representing many of the world’s leading technology, consumer, fintech, and healthcare companies, clients seek Steve out for his track record of courtroom and arbitration wins, his ability to defeat class certification in consumer class actions, and his strategic insights. He is praised for “seeing several chess moves ahead” in litigation, and using “creative and aggressive case strategies” that “get results.”

Steve is a board member of the Harvard Law School Alumni Association and the Association of Business Trial Lawyers.

After graduating from Harvard Law School, Steve served as a law clerk to the Hon. Jacqueline H. Nguyen, US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
