Berger law firm is a focused legal advocacy firm that helps clients, businesses, corporations, professionals, health care providers, practices, institutions, and lawyers solve diverse and challenging legal issues in many practice areas of law.
The firm is well positioned to litigate disputes using a much more personalized approach. Based on the needs of the client, the firm advises or negotiates asserting the client's interests to settle a dispute, or vigorously and zealously advances a client's position in hearings, inquests, inquiries, administrative tribunals, courts or for any appeals.
While the firm helps many clients in several practice areas of law, the firm has specialized expertise when a legal issue has some nexus to health, science or medicine. Ken J. Berger has been elected as Vice President and Board of Governor for the World Association for Medical Law.
The firm provides alternative dispute resolution, mediation or arbitration to two opposing parties and independent legal advice to clients who are already legally represented or have appointed counsel (e.g. doctors, health care providers, professionals), and acts as client's co-counsel, where the client may have the benefits of having another lawyer assisting.
The firm acts as agent for professional athletes, amateur athletes, actors, performers, and musicians by helping to negotiate contracts and facilitates a return to sport or performance after injury or illness.
Ken J. Berger has successfully advocated on behalf of various clients in the courtroom and boardroom. Before getting called to the Bar in Ontario and New York, he received mentorship from many different lawyers, among them four who have had the honor of being appointed fellowship to the American College of Trial Lawyers.
