NEAL MARDER
Partner
Akin
With over 35 years of experience, Neal Marder is a Chambers-ranked trial lawyer and highly accomplished class action litigator. He has achieved significant victories in state and federal courts in California and nationwide, including precedent-setting wins in high-profile, enterprise-threatening litigation. As a partner at Akin, Marder leads the firm’s litigation efforts in California and co-chairs its national class actions practice.
In a high-stakes matter for American Medical Response, with more than $100 million in potential exposure, Marder opposed a class certification involving alleged California state law violations prohibiting the intentional recording of all cellular and cordless telephones communications. The California Southern District Court agreed with nearly all of Marder’s arguments and denied class certification, leaving plaintiff little room for appeal. The court ultimately dismissed all claims. He also defended Neil Schimmel and Investors Management Group in an arbitration involving multiple breach of contract disputes.
