David M. Pohl is the founder of Pohl LLP.  Pohl LLP provides litigation and outside general counsel services to businesses, entrepreneurs and financial professionals. The firm also represents other individuals with sensitive legal matters.

As a New York City business litigation attorney, David M. Pohl has successfully handled sophisticated and complex litigation at a large international law firm and at an elite litigation boutique.

In founding Pohl LLP, Mr. Pohl created a law firm with the ability to provide the highest level of legal skill and attention to every matter, whether large or small in scope. The firm was founded on the belief that a small group of skilled lawyers with a strong and resolute work ethic, uncommon devotion to clients, and a proficiency in advanced law practice technologies can provide first-class representation on par with large firms.

As a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), Mr. Pohl is uniquely qualified to handle matters involving business fraud, including cases of embezzlement, insurance fraud, securities fraud, stock fraud and accounting fraud.

Pohl LLP is a small and modern law firm. We are therefore able to avoid conflicts of interest, control the economics of each engagement and create flexible fee arrangements that meet our clients' needs.

• Breach of contract: We handle a wide range of contract disputes, from simple breaches to complex commercial matters.
