Rosaria A. Suriano, Business Attorney in Roseland, New Jersey

An experienced business litigation attorney representing both national and international companies in many industries including manufacturing, financial services, technology, supply chain, and construction to name a few. Rose Suriano brings to her clients over 30 years of trial and appellate court experience in both state and federal courts across the country. Throughout her career, Rose has worked for several of the state’s most prominent law firms. She has successfully handled complex contract and business matters, including vendor disputes, claims between members of limited liability companies, partnership/shareholder disputes, theft and misappropriation of trade secrets and proprietary information, restrictive covenant and non-compete litigation, domain name disputes, theft of computer data, and a wide variety of other contract and business disputes.

Rose also handles construction and real estate claims, including claims between general contractors, construction managers, and subcontractors. She has litigated delay claims, defect claims, and non-payment claims in the construction industry.

Rose has built a reputation on taking the difficult cases others have feared or have been unable to manage and has successfully turned them around in favor of the client. Many of her cases come from former adversaries who admire her tenacity and relentless desire to deliver a win to the client. She took a ten-year-old case that resulted in a multi-million-dollar judgment against the client and not only had the judgment reversed, she obtained a seven-figure award of legal fees to the client.* When the prior attorneys ran out of options and gave up, Rose stepped in and won the case. Recently she obtained a multi-million settlement for a Fortune 500 client through thorough preparation and tough negotiation skills. *Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances.

As a commercial litigator, Rose considers herself a strategist for her clients. She counsels clients about when it is in their best interest to avoid litigation – when to settle a claim and how – and when litigation is necessary. She partners with her clients to develop winning strategies that help facilitate their long-term business goals and interests.
