Practice Profile: Fara Tabatabai's practice focuses on complex commercial, products liability, securities, and employment litigation and arbitration. She represents U.S., Canadian, European, and Asian clients in a variety of industries and has served as litigation and trial counsel in numerous high-stakes domestic and international disputes.
Among other notable cases, she represented Lehman Brothers in a trial against Barclays that resulted in a $5 billion verdict in Lehman's favor and also represented the European affiliates of Nortel Networks in the first U.S.-Canadian cross-border trial in history.

In addition, she is a member of the Corporate Leadership Committee of the New York Women's Foundation and is currently serving her second term as the President of the New York Chapter of the Iranian American Bar Association.
