Expertise Spotlight

Leader Berkon Colao & Silverstein dynamics and competition within the field. Whether you’re dealing with a narrow issue or something broader, by asking questions and getting involved, you’re able to get in a position where you can give more comprehensive and global, well-formed advice on different problems.”

LLP is a premier litigation boutique with a long history of representing clients such as Honeywell International in important litigation matters. The complex commercial litigation team is led by trial lawyer Glen Silverstein. Glen draws upon top-flight trial skills, not only at trial and arbitration but also throughout the litigation process, including depositions, mediations, and hearings, to make a difference in the outcome of the case. In addition to numerous defense-side victories at trial and arbitration as well as other favorable and strategic outcomes, Glen, along with partner Mike Tiffany and the rest of the team, recently won (and collected) more than $100 million for a client and won the rare multimillion-dollar case that was fully tried in the New York Supreme Court Commercial Division. Based in New York, with additional offices in Los Angeles and Philadelphia, Leader Berkon Colao & Silverstein’s twenty-plus lawyers—all litigators—are well positioned to handle major litigation from coast to coast. The firm, which recently celebrated its thirtieth year in practice, acts as national counsel for certain clients, and has long been a thought leader and early adopter in the area of alternative fees and cost-efficient representation.

Many of Graf’s colleagues in the legal field have taken notice of his unique abilities. “Chuck is a great problem solver,” says Glen Silverstein, a senior partner at Leader Berkon Colao & Silverstein. “He utilizes dynamic resources, including litigation evaluation and, if needed, implementation, to work the problem until it’s solved from a business perspective.”

Honeywell’s recent evolutions have prompted new developments in the standardization of internal processes. Much like how Graf’s investigations transformation encouraged the participation of key stakeholders, the rest of the workplace is adopting these same philosophies to include the people who are most affected by various functions. Along with embracing this new mentality, Graf has made it a goal to adopt a more business-oriented approach to his work to become an even more valued advisor, demonstrating his devotion to Honeywell’s mission. He considers joining Honeywell “the best career decision he ever made.” The dynamic of the company has helped him grow beyond his horizons as purely a liti- gator and allowed him to flourish as his role has broadened. With the leadership, expertise, and guidance available to him, he has become a seasoned advocate for Honeywell’s ever-advancing posterity.

Kirkland & Ellis:

“Chuck is that rare lawyer who combines a first-rate intellect with outstanding judgment to deliver consistently excellent results for Honeywell. He’s also one of the most decent people we’ve had the privilege to work with.”
