Our lawyers are efficient, diverse, collaborative, and focused on one singular goal-- achieving the best possible results for our clients through fierce advocacy, creative strategies, and forward-looking advice.

To collect an exceptional group of lawyers and staff with the credentials, experience, grit, and creativity to respond with ingenuity and flexibility to the legal challenges our clients face both today and into the future; 2. To fuse together a cutting-edge commercial litigation practice with a pioneering public interest practice for the mutual benefit of both; and 3.

Last week, Hecker Fink LLP hosted a special screening of The The New York Times Critic’s Pick documentary “War Game” (2024), featuring a panel discussion with Senator Doug Jones, who plays the Attorney General in the film, and the game producer Janessa Goldbeck. The panel moderated by Kate Epstein covered the film’s themes and key lessons as the election swiftly approaches. “War Game” transports audiences into a high-stakes, future-set simulation, where bipartisan U.S. defense, intelligence, and elected officials confront a political coup following a contested 2024 presidential election. The film raises crucial questions about the escalating threats to American democracy, building on the aftermath of the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

Join us in congratulating Hecker Fink LLP Partner Sean Hecker on being again named to Benchmark Litigation's “Top 100 Trial Lawyers” list. In its 2025 analysis, the publication shared: “Sean Hecker is a rare breed of white-collar trial lawyer, with an unassailable reputation that has been fortified by universal peer and client testimonials, and the representative work to support the commentary. “Sean is the best lawyer in [New York] city,” insists a client. “He offers strategic thinking, communication, and very strong written work product. It is difficult to identify a shortcoming. His representation of us was a home run.” Review the full list of this year's "Top 100 Trial Lawyers” here: https://lnkd.in/eDffTv6q

Hecker Fink LLP and the Howard University School of Law Civil Rights Clinic filed an amicus brief in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of a group of federal courts scholars in support of the Plaintiffs-Appellants in 𝐴.𝐵., 𝑏𝑦 𝑁𝑒𝑥𝑡 𝐹𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑑 𝐵𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝑊𝑖𝑙𝑠𝑜𝑛, 𝑒𝑡 𝑎𝑙. 𝑣. 𝐸𝑟𝑖𝑐 𝐻𝑜𝑙𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑏, 𝑒𝑡 𝑎𝑙. The brief argues that the Northern District of Indiana District Court erred in its holding that the 𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟 doctrine precluded it from exercising jurisdiction in the at-issue child welfare proceeding, based on the Seventh Circuit’s decision in 𝐴𝑠ℎ𝑙𝑒𝑦 𝑊. 𝑣. 𝐻𝑜𝑙𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑏, 34 F.4th 588 (7th Cir. 2024). The brief explains that analyzed properly, the child-welfare proceedings in this litigation do not present the “exceptional circumstances” that can justify (or require) abstention, and that 𝐴𝑠ℎ𝑙𝑒𝑦 𝑊. is distinguishable. Read it in full here: https://lnkd.in/evBvDApP The Hecker Fink team includes Joshua Matz and Alisha Bruce. The Howard Civil Rights Clinic student team included Tamya Anderson, Nigel J., and Charles King. Hecker Fink is proud to continue its partnership with the Howard Civil Rights Clinic. Carmen Iguina González, Of Counsel at Hecker Fink, and Amit Jain, Senior Associate at Hecker Fink, currently serve as the Co-Directors of the Clinic. Donya Khadem, a former Associate at Hecker Fink, serves as a Supervising Attorney.

Hecker Fink LLP Partner John Quinn earned a “shout-out" in The American Lawyer’s “Litigator of the Week” column for securing a ruling on behalf of Portier LLC striking down a New York City law requiring delivery services to provide restaurants with certain customer's information, including full name, email address, phone number, delivery address, and order contents. Earlier this week, U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres granted DoorDash, Portier, and Grubhub's motion for summary judgement, finding that the law violated the First Amendment. The judge wrote that while the city might prefer that restaurants have access to customer data, “a mere preference for one industry over another is not a substantial state interest.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eHhQ8cjS
