Ira Scot Meyerowitz
Ira Scot Meyerowitz, Esq., has been practicing as an attorney since graduating, magna cum laude, from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in 1996. As a student, Mr. Meyerowitz participated in a moot court program run by the famed O.J. Simpson dream team lawyer, Barry Sheck, Esq., all the while receiving other school honors, scholarships and awards. He also interned as a law clerk for a Federal Judge in the District Court of the Eastern District of New York, and the United States Department of Justice in their white collar crime division.
Upon graduation, Mr. Meyerowitz joined the Midtown law firm of Littman, Krooks, Roth & Ball, P.C., a medium-sized boutique with four basic areas of practice: litigation, corporate, real estate and trusts and estates law. While an associate in the litigation department, Mr. Meyerowitz learned to be a top notch trial lawyer, while working closely on various entertainment, intellectual property, employment, commercial, corporate, securities, real estate and estate matters.
Through eight years of front line experience in the courts and the boardrooms, he has never forgotten his old firm’s motto: Large firm quality, small firm attention. Subsequently, Mr. Meyerowitz worked at several respected mid-sized Manhattan law firms before deciding, in 2005, to form his own firm focusing on his passion as a trial lawyer and counselor in the areas of entertainment and business law.
He is admitted to practice in all of New York’s state courts, as well as before the Federal Courts of the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. Mr. Meyerowitz is an experienced trial lawyer who has, over his twelve years of practice, successfully prosecuted cases and defended his clients in state and federal courts, for bench and jury trials, and in regulatory investigations, class action lawsuits, NYSLA applications, community board inquiries, IRS disputes, EEOC claims, mediations, and arbitrations before the American Arbitration Association (AAA), New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), and now FINRA. He has successfully argued before a panel of appellate judges on the benches of the Appellate Division, First Department of the State of New York.
Over the years, Mr. Meyerowitz has built a practice based primarily on referral business and a reputation for high quality work, attentive client relations, out of the box thinking, an extraordinary win rate and unyielding tenacity.
In addition to his on-going law practice, he currently serves as in-house counsel to several companies, providing them with representation and advice on matters of regulatory compliance, employment and partnership issues and disputes, contract drafting, and corporate formation.
Mr. Meyerowitz’s growing list of devoted clients runs the gamut from investment bankers to well known artists.
