I work with businesses and individuals to find creative solutions to challenging problems.Business Litigation: An experienced trial lawyer, I represent businesses in all types of litigation. I work with clients on contract, environmental, product liability, and real estate disputes. I represent businesses in intellectual property disputes involving patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. When disputes arise between business owners, I help clients to understand and enforce their rights. I represent insurance companies in coverage disputes. I have researched and written many insurance coverage opinions. I also serve as local counsel to out-of-state lawyers.I have tried cases to juries with excellent results.To represent clients effectively, I enjoy learning about their businesses. For example, I completed fall protection training to become certified to climb billboards, escorted a client’s mascots through an international toy fair, and traveled with a client to interview witnesses at a motorcycle expo.In addition to representing businesses in litigation, I serve as outside general counsel in negotiating contracts and providing advice.I have been selected for inclusion in the Pennsylvania Rising Stars list. I practice in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, as well as Massachusetts and New Hampshire.Employment and Labor Litigation: I defend businesses against discrimination and retaliation claims filed by their employees. I represent businesses in non-compete, trade secret, wage and hour, and whistleblower cases. In addition to litigating cases in state and federal courts, I handle administrative proceedings before the EEOC and PHRC.I have significant experience in occupational safety and health matters. I have successfully tried citations before the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and represented businesses in achieving many favorable settlements. I enjoy helping businesses to enhance their workplace safety programs.I also advise businesses on employment and labor issues.

Earlier I had reached out to multiple popular attorneys for help but all billed big fees with no resolution. It was very frustrating on top of ongoing dispute. I am glad I came across Brian!! The assistance I got from Brian helped me not only resolve the dispute in LLC partnership but also regain my confidence. Brian is approachable, supporting, knowledgeable and most important he provides the needed attention to help resolve the tough dispute. He is very thoughtful, patient, available, respectful and stays on top of the case. He goes above and beyond to provide the justice. His help is greatly appreciated forever!!

Consulted Brian for a breach of contract issue. He was very knowledgeable about employment and labor issues, what was enforceable and not. Also very responsive. Would certainly recommend him.

Brian was VERY helpful, direct and engaged. He offered straightforward advice and answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. If this matter proceeds to the next stage, I have ever intention of engaging Mr Lipkin to handle it for me.
