Biography
Glen Waldman leads the firm’s award-winning Litigation practice in Miami and is recognized as one of the top civil jury trial lawyers regionally and nationally. As lead counsel he has obtained numerous jury verdict awards in the seven and eight figures and has successfully defended to zero verdict claims of equal size. He has also achieved similar results in non-jury actions and has secured numerous substantial international arbitration awards in both commercial and reinsurance matters. Likewise, he acts as outside corporate counsel for a number of businesses, advising on and overseeing their contractual relationships, internal controls and procedures, and other legal and strategic decisions.
He focuses his civil trial practice of over 35 years on complex business, commercial, real estate, construction, land use and probate litigation matters. He has successfully tried cases to verdict ranging from relatively standard fraud, contractual, partnership and construction disputes, both in the U.S. and internationally, to the more esoteric involving, among others, combustion turbines in El Salvador; theft of a business involving a complicit bank in Colombia; citrus canker in Homestead; defeating claims in Pontiac, Michigan, involving the recall of an entire car line by one of the big four car manufacturers; and fighting over control of a large private equity firm in Delaware Business Court.
