Background

About Andy Zepeda

Five years as general counsel for a real estate developer provided me with a much deeper appreciation for the burden litigation places on clients’ time, productivity and finances. My first step in resolving wide-ranging business disputes is to strategically assess the merits of a case. I apply 30+ years of experience in state and federal courts at the trial and appellate levels and using pre-trial remedies, such as attachments, injunctive relief and lis pendens, to formulate a strategy to protect my client’s best interests. Whether in or out of the courtroom, I tenaciously pursue the desired outcome. The many cases I have handled include- U.S. Supreme Court decision ranked by the Harvard Law Review as one of the top 15 of its session, Semtek International Incorporated v. Lockheed Martin Corporation, 531 U.S. 497 (2001)- Bypassing a bench trial, instead persuading a jury to award my subcontractor client declaratory relief to enforce a settlement agreement with the prime contractor on the Red Line subway project- Defending a company’s former CEO in trial court and on appeal in a $39 million complaint of complicity in fraud brought by the company’s former private equity investors- Favorably settling a real estate foreclosure and lender liability case for the borrower against a money center bank affiliate.
