Law Offices of John F. Lang
John Lang's practice focuses on trust and estate litigation, commercial litigation, and white collar defense matters. He is equally at home in federal or state courts. Mr. Lang's practice also includes handling disputes between U.S. and overseas companies and individuals, as well as business crime and investigatory matters with an international dimension. The hallmark of Mr. Lang's legal style is an aggressive, result-oriented approach, executed with a strategic vision and tactical savvy developed through decades as lead counsel in trials and arbitrations. On the civil side of his practice, Mr. Lang represents parties in commercial litigations and tax, trust, and estate controversies. Mr. Lang handles arbitrations and mediations, and is available to serve as a mediator or arbitrator. He also represents executives, professionals, companies, and high net worth individuals in sensitive matters where discretion and avoidance of publicity is paramount. On the white collar side, Mr. Lang represents individuals and companies that are witnesses, subjects, and targets of investigations by grand juries, government agencies, and self-regulatory organizations. He has also represented executives and companies in matters involving internal corporate investigations. While Mr. Lang's goal is to obtain early and favorable resolutions of his clients' matters, he is qualified to take the most challenging of cases to trial should that become necessary.
