The New York Commercial Division, which, as part of the Supreme Court of New York State, handles complex commercial disputes, has become a go-to forum for resolving complex business litigation in the state.
In this episode of Fordham Law’s Bite-Sized Business Law podcast, Pillsbury partner Judge James Catterson, a former associate justice of the Appellate Division, First Department, who also served as a trial judge and now sits on the Commercial Division Advisory Council, explains how the Commercial Division operates and what litigators, in-house counsel, and business leaders should know about this forum.
In this interview, Judge Catterson discusses how the Commercial Division keeps high-value corporate disputes in New York and how federal-level developments contributed to that migration.
He also sheds light on the Commercial Division’s assignment criteria, the distinctions between practicing in the Commercial Division and in federal district courts, and how the court ultimately benefits both litigants and the state of New York.
