Personal Experience

Please meet Attorney of the Week, Craig Reiser, a Partner in the New York office of Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP, where he also serves on the firm’s Executive Committee and as General Counsel.

Craig focuses on high-stakes commercial litigation, including class actions and matters involving antitrust, malpractice, defamation, and breach of contract claims. His notable matters include successfully defending grandmaster Magnus Carlsen in a widely followed defamation and antitrust lawsuit and securing the dismissal of a $7 billion class action against a global law firm.

Currently, Craig is representing clients in major multi-district litigations for Alvogen and Google. Not surprisingly, Craig’s work has earned him recognition as a “Litigation Trailblazer” by The National Law Journal and accolades in the New York Law Journal and Litigation.

What I most admire about Craig is that he is the first to step up and support any worthy organization, dedicate his personal resources, and be real. In a world of constant change, turmoil, and uncertainty, I know I can count on Craig to step up always and represent. That is not lost on me.
