Greg Hindy is a trusted business advisor and skilled trial lawyer with more than 25 years of experience advising clients and litigating and trying complex business cases.

Greg regularly practices in the federal and state courts in New Jersey and New York and is focused primarily on representing business entities and directors and officers in a wide variety of matters – both individual lawsuits and class actions – alleging breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, securities law violations, antitrust violations, trade secret, franchise law, and federal and state RICO claims. He also represents clients in breach of contract disputes, including post-acquisition/post-merger indemnity claims, and consumer fraud act matters.

In his securities practice, Greg has litigated, tried and/or arbitrated alleged violations of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and the Trust Indenture Act. Greg also regularly advises and represents entities and individuals in regulatory and enforcement actions before the Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA, State Attorneys General, and State Bureaus of Securities.

In addition to his litigation practice, Greg counsels boards of directors and C-Level executives on issues of corporate governance and strategy, and has conducted numerous internal corporate investigations on behalf of boards and their special committees.

Through his litigation practice, Greg has become a trusted advisor and counselor to many of his clients on non-litigation, business related legal matters.
