Meet Larry

Larry Weinstein spent much of his four decades as a litigator helping clients achieve successful, cost-effective outcomes through alternative dispute resolution, including mediation, arbitration and proceedings before other non-court bodies. Putting that experience to use, Larry retired at the end of 2021 from his position as a senior litigation partner at the international law firm Proskauer Rose to become a full-time independent arbitrator, mediator and strategic consultant.  As the founder of Lawrence Weinstein Dispute Resolution Services, Larry brings to bear his subject matter and industry expertise, forty years of trial experience, and a distinguished reputation in the legal community to help parties across an array of industries resolve complex commercial disputes.

In his former legal practice, Larry’s clients included individuals and large and small companies in a wide variety of industries and areas of commerce, including medical devices, prescription and over-the-counter drugs, consumer products, telecommunications, life sciences, health care, food and beverage, gaming, music, theatre, film, art and sports.

At Proskauer, in addition to litigating contract and other general commercial, sports, art and entertainment cases, Larry co-headed the firm’s False Advertising and Trademark Group for the entirety of his 23-year career there and co-headed the Firm’s Intellectual Property Litigation Group for over a decade.

Throughout his career in private practice, Larry’s reputation as a preeminent litigator was recognized by clients, adversaries and the trade press alike. In 2020, Larry was named Advertising Lawyer of the Year by Best Lawyers/US News & World Report.  He also was an inaugural member of the U.S. Legal 500 Hall of Fame, a Benchmark New York Litigation Star for over 10 years running, and regularly received Chambers USA’s top rating for advertising litigation.

During his legal career, Larry was a frequent author and speaker. He founded Proskauer’s award-winning advertising law blog and wrote the U.S. chapters of The Global Pharmaceutical Advertising Guide, published by Chambers and Partners.
