Associate
Patrick Wolf is a civil litigation attorney who represents businesses and individuals with a focus on efficiency and results. His practice spans a broad range of industries, including energy, construction, finance, real estate, healthcare, automotive, and cryptocurrency.
​
Patrick has significant experience handling high-value litigation. In 2021, he successfully defended a client against a fraud claim exceeding $300 million brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and in 2023, he negotiated a settlement in a breach of fiduciary duty case involving the distribution of more than $150 million in oil-and-gas assets.
