Overview

Stu Glick is a litigation attorney in Holland & Knight's New York office. Mr. Glick focuses his practice on complex commercial, banking, finance, Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), business tort, real estate and bankruptcy litigation.

Mr. Glick's clients include lending consortiums, institutional lenders, financial institutions, hedge funds, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) special servicers, private equity funds, investment firms, insurance companies, real estate developers, retail establishments and shopping center developers. He has significant experience representing lenders in complex asset recovery proceedings involving participated or syndicated loans and lender liability claims. He also has experience with debt restructurings and loan portfolio sales and purchases.

Mr. Glick views litigation as but one tool to be used to resolve disputes, with it being a means to an end and not an end in and of itself. Consequently, he counsels clients to have a clear objective before commencing any litigation, develops a litigation strategy designed to achieve the desired objective and proactively modifies that strategy as a case develops, while keeping clients informed and involved at all times.

In addition to his legal practice, Mr. Glick is frequently invited to speak on commercial, bankruptcy and real estate litigation issues.

Mr. Glick began his career as a trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) through the Attorney General's Honors Program, where he was lead counsel in jury and non-jury cases in federal and state courts nationwide. Those cases involved complex tax, commercial, bankruptcy and constitutional law issues, in addition to significant claims of first impression, including a $500 million excise tax claim in a major domestic steel corporation bankruptcy.
