    Akshar U. Patel

    Associate

    Akshar Patel advises businesses, executives, and closely held companies on commercial agreements, corporate governance, business disputes, and legal risk. His practice focuses on helping clients navigate complex commercial, shareholder, partnership, and fiduciary matters through practical, business-oriented counsel and, when necessary, litigation.

    He regularly advises clients on commercial, vendor, service, software, licensing, and solar-related agreements and disputes, including contract interpretation, risk allocation, indemnification, limitation of liability, termination rights, and restrictive covenants. He also counsels business owners, shareholders, members, officers, directors, and general partners on governance matters, fiduciary obligations, buyouts, and business succession issues.

    Akshar manages all phases of complex commercial litigation, from pre-suit counseling through trial and appeal, including dispositive motion practice, discovery, depositions, mediation, and trial preparation. He partners with business leaders to identify legal and operational risks, develop practical solutions, and resolve disputes efficiently while advancing business objectives.

    Before joining Norris McLaughlin, P.A., Akshar served as a legal intern with the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey, where he assisted in federal prosecutions involving organized crime, financial fraud, healthcare fraud, mortgage fraud, and public corruption. He earned his J.D. from Seton Hall University School of Law, where he served as Executive Editor of the Seton Hall Legislative Journal.
