Prominent Real Estate Family – Trust and Estate Litigation

Herrick successfully represented a member of a prominent real estate family in the arbitration of a decades-long dispute over a family trust and estate, involving multiple family members and approximately $100 million in various assets. The core arguments in the case centered on whether or not the original arbitration award purporting to govern the rights to the estate was valid. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of Herrick's client, finding that the distribution of the estate was not an arbitrable matter, denied the petition to confirm and granted our motion to vacate the award.
