Alex Fermoso Jr. is a seasoned litigator with deep experience handling high-exposure matters in both construction litigation and commercial disputes. His practice focuses on the defense of owners, general contractors, and subcontractors in personal injury, construction defect, and general liability claims, particularly those arising under New York Labor Law §§ 240, 241, and 200. He regularly appears in both state and federal courts throughout New York and New Jersey.

Alex works across multiple practice areas and is particularly skilled in construction accident cases and business litigation involving breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of trade secrets, and unjust enrichment. He has achieved favorable outcomes in a wide range of matters, including a no-pay settlement in a commercial litigation dispute involving allegations of misappropriation and unfair competition, after successfully establishing dispositive defenses in a motion to dismiss.

He is known for his cost-conscious and strategic approach to litigation—identifying early opportunities for risk transfer, aggressively pursuing dispositive motion practice, and driving resolution through negotiation and mediation. Notably, he negotiated a favorable settlement in a Labor Law § 240 case involving a 30-foot ladder fall and multiple surgeries, securing a result well below projected exposure.

Alex is highly experienced in all stages of litigation, including motion practice, discovery, depositions, mediation, and e-discovery management. His litigation strategy is rooted in careful case analysis, effective communication with clients and insurers, and a consistent focus on minimizing litigation costs while protecting client interests.

He earned his J.D., cum laude, from New York Law School and his B.A. in Political Science from CUNY Hunter College. He is admitted to practice in New York and New Jersey, as well as several U.S. District and Bankruptcy Courts.
