He has litigated a wide array of claims in the business and insolvency contexts, including fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, business and traditional torts, fraudulent transfers, preferences, negligent design, and professional negligence. Mr. Skoff has represented a broad range of clients, including joint venturers, startups, partners, banks, large and mid-market businesses, trustees, insurance companies, lenders and special servicers.

In the real estate, redevelopment and land use areas, Mr. Skoff’s considerable litigation experience includes the representation of property owners, developers, landlords, tenants, and other parties in complex disputes related to the interpretation of leases, claims arising out of financial agreements, claims arising from property redevelopment, claims related to environmental contamination, and claims against municipal entities.

Mr. Skoff litigates matters in federal and state courts and before alternative dispute resolution venues, including the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and JAMS.
