Victoria Safran
I have broad and diverse experience in complex commercial litigation and international arbitration. My clients include Fortune 500 and multinational companies, as well as smaller businesses and not-for-profits. I handle high-stakes disputes, including complex contract, RICO, competition law and financial fraud cases. I have extensive experience counseling businesses on employment matters and represent them in employment disputes.
Before forming Sentner Safran, I practiced with a multinational law firm in New York City where I represented businesses in complex commercial disputes. Then I served with the New York Attorney General’s office, where I investigated and successfully prosecuted public interest matters, including financial frauds, securities frauds and deceptive business practices. I was appointed by the Attorney General as a public integrity officer in charge of public corruption cases.
I am driven and passionate about the work I do and treat my clients’ cases as if they were my own. I specialize in developing creative legal arguments that can turn a case around, and thoughtful strategies that will lead to successful resolutions. When the situation warrants, I can be a fierce litigator, but I also recognize the times when polite communication and negotiation will be of greater value. Most importantly, I always try to keep my eye on the big picture and to focus on my clients’ needs and expectations.
At Sentner Safran, we place importance on our commitment to public service. I serve as a volunteer for Human Rights First and represent Afghans in asylum proceedings. I served as the Chair of the New York City Bar Association African Affairs Committee, and continue as an active member of that organization. I belong to the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, and act as a volunteer attorney mediating employment cases for the Eastern District of New York’s mediation advocacy program. I also served as counsel for Lawyers Without Borders in Namibia.
I am a graduate of Duke University School of Law and Carnegie Mellon University.
