Yankwitt LLP Launches Dedicated Law Firm Practice to Serve Law Firms and Legal Professionals

WHITE PLAINS, NY (June 15, 2026) — Yankwitt LLP, Westchester County’s go-to law firm for high-stakes, bet-the-company litigation, today announced the formal launch of its Law Firm Practice, a dedicated cross-discipline practice group focused on serving law firms and lawyers confronting complex litigation, internal crises, investigations, and reputational risk.

Since its inception, Yankwitt LLP has represented law firms across New York City, Westchester County, and the Lower Hudson Valley, serving as counsel to boutique practices and Am Law 100 firms alike.

“While we have long represented and partnered with law firms, we have seen this part of our practice grow significantly in recent years, which led us to formalize it,” said Russell Yankwitt, managing partner of Yankwitt LLP. “Working with other lawyers requires judgment, discretion, and a deep respect for the pressures they face. We’re honored by the trust our peers place in us to handle some of their most challenging matters and to serve as local and strategic counsel in Westchester, where our firsthand experience before the courts provides meaningful value.”

Yankwitt LLP’s Law Firm Practice offers a combination of trial-ready litigation skill, investigative judgment, and discretion. The firm represents law firms in partnership and governance disputes, compensation and fiduciary duty matters related to partner withdrawals, defamation and fraud claims, complex commercial litigation, insurance coverage disputes, and sensitive malpractice and fee matters.

In addition to litigation, Yankwitt LLP is frequently entrusted with sensitive internal investigations and criminal defense matters, including whistleblower allegations, unauthorized disclosures of confidential information, cyber fraud and data security incidents, and internal compliance and governance issues. The firm’s work is guided by a focus on protecting privilege, managing exposure, and safeguarding reputations.

Yankwitt LLP is also widely recognized as a go-to litigation partner for local, regional, and national law firms seeking experienced trial counsel. The firm regularly serves as co-counsel on complex commercial matters, integrating seamlessly into legal teams to provide immediate courtroom credibility and elite trial support in state and federal courts.

National and New York City firms partner with Yankwitt LLP for its deep insight into Westchester’s federal and Commercial Division courts, informed by attorneys who have clerked for judges in White Plains and previously served as state and federal prosecutors.
