Alexandra Sadinsky is a Partner at Elsberg Baker & Maruri.

Alex has been awarded by Lawdragon as one of the nation’s 500 Leading Plaintiff Financial Lawyers and as a member of the Lawdragon 500 X – The Next Generation, and by Legal 500 as a Key Lawyer for General Commercial Disputes.

Alex represents corporations, boards of directors, investment funds, founders, executives, and other stakeholders in high-stakes disputes involving mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, fiduciary duties, securities, and complex commercial matters. Her representations include Twitter in its litigation against Elon Musk over the $44 billion acquisition, Barry Diller and IAC in litigation that informed subsequent amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law, Soroc Technology Holdings and White Oak Global Advisors in a $115 million M&A fraud action, and Millennium Management traders in expedited trade secret litigation brought by Jane Street. She regularly handles expedited, bet-the-company matters in the Delaware Court of Chancery and other state and federal courts nationwide.

Clients turn to Alex when the stakes are highest because she combines strategic judgment with courtroom experience in fast-moving corporate and commercial disputes. She has litigated numerous cases presenting novel questions of Delaware law, including the landmark Match litigation, where the legal framework advanced by her clients was later reflected in amendments to Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In a subsequent opinion, the Delaware Supreme Court observed that those amendments codified the position advocated by Alex’s clients in that case.

Before joining Elsberg Baker & Maruri, Alex practiced at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. She served as a law clerk to the Honorable Denny Chin of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the Honorable Claire C. Cecchi of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. She also served as an Adjunct Professor in Fordham Law School’s First-Year Legal Writing Program.

Alex received her J.D., magna cum laude, from Fordham University School of Law, where she was elected to the Order of the Coif, served as a Senior Articles Editor for the Fordham Law Review, and was a member of the Fordham Moot Court Board. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Fordham Law Alumni Association.
