Watstein Terepka is an elite litigation and compliance boutique with best-in-class attorneys and an impeccable track record handling sophisticated disputes across the country for some of the most notable brands. We have, for example, defended hundreds of national class actions in over 30 states with billions in exposure and have never had a class certified against a client, even for settlement purposes.

On the compliance side, we have conducted dozens of comprehensive exposure audits of consumer-facing practices, helping clients avoid billions more in exposure, and written consumer-facing terms and arbitration programs for some of the country’s most prominent companies.

The firm was founded with a singular mission: to provide aggressive, tenacious, and creative representation that yields impeccable results. We do this by hiring and promoting the most talented young lawyers, emphasizing creativity and collaboration, and working hard and smart.

But we also recognize that practicing at the highest level doesn’t mean wearing suits or going into the office every day. We instead emphasize and reward results over ceremony. And our entire team unites around the core principle that achieving the best possible results for clients is exhilarating.
