Sidkoff, Pincus & Green P.C. ("SPG") is a compact law firm whose specialty is substantial and difficult business litigation for both defendants and plaintiffs. Additionally, the firm has had repeated, successful experience in negotiating and completing high dollar, sophisticated transactional matters that did not involve litigation.

SPG, founded in 1958, is approaching its 50th anniversary, and is one of the oldest law firms in Philadelphia. Beginning in the 1970's, SPG began to concentrate on federal and other forms of complex, business litigation. SPG has represented litigants in the areas of civil RICO litigation; appellate practice in the state and federal courts; private entity shareholder and partner disputes; securities fraud; antitrust; class actions; intellectual property including trademarks; non-competition and trade secret agreements; Title VII and employment matters; Truth In Lending; Fair Credit Reporting; Constitutional Law; International disputes; contractual disputes; contract interpretation; grand jury challenges for white collar clients; and criminal appeals. In addition, SPG has litigated cases involving property rights, personal injuries, mass tort and labor disputes. SPG has appeared in federal and state courts around the country and in cases involving injunctions, declaratory orders, damages, and punitive damages. Similarly, SPG has defended and prosecuted NASD and NYSE securities arbitrations involving registered securities brokers in labor and contract disputes as well as customers in churning and related causes of action.

SPG has no "typical client." While many of the parties it represents are individuals, the firm has also represented a large number of corporations in many interesting and compelling cases, including recently when it was retained by a large insurance carrier to defend civil RICO claims brought against its insureds. SPG has also represented public companies in protracted matters where it was retained to both bring and defend a wide variety of lawsuits. Additionally, SPG has represented mid-size pharmaceutical companies in matters involving the FDA, labor and employment litigation, and general contract and corporate matters. SPG has represented in litigation matters firms in industries as diverse as the Internet, telephony, construction developers, asbestos abatement, as well as business and consulting services, brokers, securities representatives, manufacturing companies (including listed companies), the Russian Duma, numerous Russian companies, performers, singing groups, OEM reps, and many clients on a list that is too long to set forth here.

The factors that distinguish SPG from other firms include its commitment to give each matter sufficient attention to satisfy the clients' needs; and the fact that Gary Green and Robert Davitch (the two owners of SPG) have been practicing together since 1976, which has allowed them the time to develop methods of achieving superior results without overtaxing the clients' resources, even in the most complex of cases. The firm is a strong believer in the scholarly approach to litigation, and it thoroughly researches the applicable law at the earliest stages. This shapes the pre-trial discovery that the firm pursues, and this combination often results in depositions that reveal who the ultimate winner of the case will be. Indeed, SPG has a deserved reputation of winning its cases at the deposition level, with settlement and summary judgment orders that avoid the huge expense of a trial and appeals.

Sidkoff, Pincus & Green adheres to the view that no case is too big, too complex, too difficult or too challenging if their clients must sue another party because they were injured and are entitled to damages -- or must defend vigorously a lawsuit brought against them to avoid the injustice that a lesser defense might produce.

Of course, before Sidkoff, Pincus & Green agrees to accept a matter for litigation, the firm's committee of trial lawyers must be convinced that the case is of a sufficiently substantial magnitude and importance to warrant the first class treatment that the firm provides.
