A New Model for Success

Zaiger LLC is a unique law firm providing an alternative model of first-tier business litigation aimed at aligning incentives with our clients to create superior returns. The Firm was formed in 2019 to serve as special litigation counsel to Connecticut-based alternative asset manager Black Diamond Capital Management, L.L.C. and to litigate high-stakes cases on behalf of Black Diamond, its managed funds, portfolio companies, affiliates, investment partners, and others.

The Firm’s approach analyzes prospective lawsuits as investment opportunities, with a successful verdict or final judgment as the ultimate payoff. As a result, the Firm prepares every matter it undertakes for trial, which integrates with its clients’ willingness to go the distance. Following in-depth analysis of the risks and possible rewards of litigation, the Firm aligns its interests with those of its client so that they are true partners in the endeavor. Once litigation is commenced, the Firm focuses on winning, while avoiding the wasteful time and expense that is ingrained in the traditional law firm/client structure.

To date, the Firm’s model has translated into recoveries of hundreds of millions of dollars at greatly reduced costs to the traditional hourly model.

Zaiger LLC — which frequently partners with some of the nations’ top trial-lawyers — litigates a spectrum of complex business disputes throughout the country including prosecuting and defending lawsuits for breach of fiduciary duty, claims against corporate officers and directors, breach of contract, equitable subordination, and fraudulent transfer claims.
