Profile: Alan J. Konigsberg

Mr. Konigsberg's passion for his work, commitment to his clients, and never ending reserve of energy and determination have helped LPK take on some of the nation's largest corporations and municipalities, winning a plethora of cases that have become milestones in litigation history. As one of the founders and a senior partner of the firm, Mr. Konigsberg has spent over 30 years as a much sought after attorney in many high profile cases.

For example, when the calls came for a tough, no-nonsense approach to domestic and international litigation: birth defect/product liability litigation against a major pharmaceutical manufacturer, a catastrophic fall of an American at a Paris hotel, a defective lighting hoist, defective construction equipment and improper construction procedures, negligent building security practices resulting in an executive being shot and rendered permanently brain damaged and the crash of a Boeing 747 aircraft in Osaka, Japan, Mr. Konigsberg met the litigation challenges and achieved spectacular results for the firm's clients.

He has also handled cases on behalf of people injured by toxic substances, defective products, dangerous work conditions, school violence, dangerous and under-insured taxi cabs, poorly maintained construction sites and inadequately secured commercial property. He has also been an advocate for protecting the rights of individuals who blow the whistle on employers committing fraud against the Government, as well as protecting the whistleblowers rights to live and work without the threat of consequences.

He has taken on some of the largest cases in the country on behalf of a client list, which includes infants in housing contaminated by lead paint. He has represented window workers, painters, taxi drivers, high school students, jazz musicians, senior citizens, heavy equipment operators and rock ‘n' roll performers.

Mr. Konigsberg is a 1967 graduate of St. John's University School of Law and is admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court, several United States Courts of Appeals and many United States District Courts.

He is a past chairman of the Aviation Law Section of the New York State Bar Association and he served as an international speaker and committee member of the World Jurist Association.

He is also a member of the American and the New York State Bar Associations, the Bar Association of the City of New York, the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and the Association of Trial Lawyers of America.
