The Wagner Firm has successfully represented clients in virtually all fields of commercial law. We have specialties in financial-related issues, especially shareholder or investment-related disputes, and also in insurance law. The Wagner Firm was founded with the philosophy that deep expertise and relationships in the field of insurance law provides clients with a major competitive advantage in other commercial actions, as many companies are insured against potential damages and their insurer(s) often have a major role in determining whether, when, and for how much a case might settle. We have also been successful in drawing upon this same expertise when clients are dealing with insurance-specific actions such as insurance coverage issues or insurance bad faith.
All engagements are led personally by Avi Wagner; as such, we only take on a small number of clients and only those where we can offer a significant benefit to our clients. Please contact us for a private and no-cost consultation for more information.
Investment / Shareholder Rights Law
We are experienced in actions relating to securities fraud, including securities fraud class action lawsuits and shareholder derivative actions, as well as claims under investment law generally. We have a successful track record representing private equity funds, foreign and domestic pension funds as well as individuals. This diversity of experience allows us to clearly see a case from the perspective of all parties involved, which provides a significant advantage to our clients.
We also have a deep background and track record of success arguing cases before FINRA Arbitration or Mediation panels. (FINRA is the regulatory body for securities and business disputes between and among investors, brokerage firms and individual brokers).

Avi Wagner is a recognized expert in insurance coverage law and insurance bad faith, and has a track record of over 15 years' success representing clients in actions touching on virtually every aspect of insurance law.
