Pomeranz prevents and resolves disputes throughout the Midwest and Mountain West, and around the world. He focuses his practice on the accurate and efficient resolution of complex commercial disputes that involve allegations about contracts, corporate governance and shareholder disputes (including “business divorce”), deceptive trade practices and fraud, and intellectual property (such as copyright, trade dress, trademarks, and trade secrets). Licensed in New York and Michigan, Pomeranz has an international practice, having litigated in nearly a dozen states in both state and federal court (including bankruptcy and appeals court, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court) and representing clients across the United States and around the world, particularly in Asia, Latin America, and Europe. He represents commercial clients nationally in mediation and arbitration proceedings, both under the aegis of organizations such as AAA and in ad hoc arbitration proceedings. Pomeranz also often assists colleagues with local‑counsel matters throughout Michigan and around the Midwest.
