Our Firm

Lax, Neville & Intelisano, LLP is a premier boutique law firm based in New York City, recognized internationally for its expertise in complex litigation, arbitration, and advisory services. Our practice is dedicated to representing investors, financial services professionals, and businesses in high-stakes disputes across the financial, securities, employment, and commercial sectors. With decades of combined trial and arbitration experience, our attorneys have successfully litigated against some of the largest financial institutions and law firms in the world.

Our firm represents retail and institutional investors—including ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, hedge funds, endowments, and other institutions—in securities arbitration and litigation against major financial firms. We have achieved substantial victories in cases involving investment fraud, financial misconduct, and regulatory disputes. Ross Intelisano and his team secured a record-breaking $21 million award against Goldman Sachs Execution and Clearing and a $5.2 million FINRA award against UBS regarding the YES options strategy-the largest recovery in related cases. Barry, Brian and their team won a $16.6 million customer arbitration award against BNP Paribas Securities Corp., the largest customer award ever rendered against BNP.

In the financial services employment sector, we advocate for C-suite executives, traders, investment bankers, hedge fund professionals, and large broker teams in disputes involving compensation, wrongful termination, and regulatory matters. Brian Neville, Barry Lax, and Ross Intelisano have built a national reputation for their success in employment litigation and arbitration, including multimillion-dollar FINRA awards against firms like Credit Suisse for unpaid compensation and bonuses. Brian Neville, Barry Lax, and their team have won every claim brought on behalf of former Credit Suisse investment advisers seeking their share of the over $200 million in deferred compensation that Credit Suisse refused to pay when it closed its U.S. private bank in 2015. The firm has tried nine FINRA arbitrations on behalf of these advisers, securing more than $35 million in awards for 30 former Credit Suisse professionals whose employment agreements and deferred compensation plans were violated.

Lax, Neville & Intelisano, LLP remains fiercely independent and frequently litigates against major Wall Street institutions, including Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, UBS, and Wells Fargo. Our attorneys have successfully arbitrated and litigated hundreds of cases against these financial giants, securing substantial awards, judgments, and settlements for our clients.

Our firm’s strength lies in our ability to match—and often exceed—the expertise and resources of the largest internationally recognized law firms. With an unwavering commitment to our clients and a results-driven approach, Lax, Neville & Intelisano, LLP continues to set the standard for excellence in securities, employment, and commercial litigation.
