Thomas F. Knab

Determination, discipline, the ability to go the distance—Tom Knab demonstrates these attributes in his ongoing quest to climb the 46 High Peaks of New York’s Adirondack Mountains. He also brings them to the practice of law.

​As an Upstate New York Super Lawyer for Business Litigation and chair of the Firm's Litigation Practice Group, Tom has been recognized as one of the top attorneys in the region. His work entails negotiating and litigating contracts; construction and real estate disputes; drafting and litigating restrictive covenants and employment agreements; representing founders, owners and executives in partnership, LLC and corporate disputes; constitutional challenges to governmental actions; and defense of legal malpractice claims. He has practiced in the New York State and Federal Courts for over 25 years, handling jury and non-jury trials, appeals, arbitrations and mediations.

​Tom is an aggressive advocate for his clients’ rights and interests. He believes in delivering practical advice and cost-effective legal services, in both disputes that arise in the normal course of business and in disputes over significant monetary claims or matters critical to a client’s success. He works hard to find business solutions to those disputes, but is always prepared to take the fight into the courtroom.
