JEFFREY C. DANNENBERG

Jeff graduated from Syracuse University College of Law, cum laude, in 1983. From 1982 to 1983, he was Editor-in-Chief of the Syracuse Law Review. He is admitted to practice in New York, Connecticut, and the District of Columbia, as well as before the United States District Courts for the Southern, Eastern and Western Districts of New York, the District of Connecticut, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court.

His areas of concentration are in litigation (both at the trial and the appellate levels, in federal and state courts) and counseling, particularly relating to disputes involving commercial and corporate contracts, Uniform Commercial Code, partnerships and limited liability companies, corporate-shareholder transactions, trademarks and licensing, and employer-employee relations.

Jeff has written articles for a number of legal publications, including the New York State Bar Journal, Warren's Weed on New York Real Property, and the Syracuse Law Review. His essay entitled "Reconciling the War on Terrorism With the U.S. Constitution" was included as a chapter in the book "Perspectives on 9/11" (Praeger Publishers 2004). In addition, he is a member of the New York State Bar Association (former Chair of the Committee on Federal Constitution and Legislation, and current member of the Commercial and Federal Litigation Section) and the Connecticut Bar Association (currently serving on the Editorial Board of the "Connecticut Lawyer" publication).

“The primary focus of my work is helping business men and women avoid or resolve disputes. Sometimes, that involves litigation or arbitration, and sometimes it involves informal negotiation or mediation. Ultimately, it involves helping people resolve conflicts that, for whatever reason, they have been unable to resolve on their own. What’s unique about my approach is that I strive to integrate into the practice of law my belief that the key to conflict avoidance and resolution is effective communication.”
