In a thrilling development, attorney S. Preston Ricardo has joined forces with Vedder Price, bolstering the New York office's Litigation practice area. With over 25 years of experience under his belt, Ricardo brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table.
"Cementing our stellar team of trial lawyers, both in New York and across all nine offices, remains our top priority. We're stoked to welcome Preston to the firm!" enthuses Tony Ashley, Firm Chair of the Litigation practice area. "He's tackled a multitude of cases spanning various sectors, with a national practice centered on restrictive covenant and trade secret litigation. This extension solidifies our standing in this critical field of expertise."
Ricardo's practice is predominantly dedicated to post-closing M&A-related litigation, business torts, shareholder, partnership, and joint venture disputes, complex fraud, and breach of fiduciary duty, among other complex legal matters. In addition, he's gained a reputation for his special concentration in representing employers and employees across the nation in post-employment restrictive covenant and trade secret issues. This includes actions involving emergency injunctive relief and expedited discovery. Ricardo's commanding presence in these fields is further backed by his frequent speaking engagements on these topics.
This accomplished lawyer has secured numerous triumphs for clients hailing from industries such as private equity, financial services, manufacturing, technology, insurance broking, accounting, hospitality, and brand licensing and operations.
Ricardo earned his J.D. from the prestigious Georgetown University Law Center and his undergraduate degree from the esteemed University of Texas at Austin. Before joining Vedder Price, Ricardo served as Co-Chair of the Litigation Department and Chair of the Non-Compete and Trade Secrets practice at Golenbock Eiseman Assor Bell & Peskoe LLP in New York.
Although, it's worth mentioning that Ricardo is not unfamiliar with the food and health regulation landscape. He has represented the National Restaurant Association (NRA) in legal matters, offering expert insights on the implications of upheld New York City regulations, such as the salt law, which the NRA has deemed a setback for restaurant chains.
With Ricardo's addition, Vedder Price further fortifies its Litigation practice area, promising to continue providing unparalleled legal representation and advocacy.
Vedder Price's Litigation practice area adds a new dimension with the arrival of S. Preston Ricardo, who brings extensive experience in finance-related business litigation, particularly post-closing M&A disputes and restrictive covenant and trade secret litigation.
