Mitchell Pascual concentrates his practice on trying complex commercial, environmental and construction matters. For many years, he has effectively represented a broad range of private and public clients which include financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate development corporations, and municipal and state entities.

Mr. Pascual is presently Chief Counsel to Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners, one of the world’s largest sewerage treatment facilities. For nearly a decade, he has successfully represented Passaic Valley in connection with large-scale complex, construction litigations, which involved significant environmental and sewerage treatment issues.

Since practicing with the law firm of Scarinci Hollenbeck, Mr. Pascual has successfully handled numerous complex matters to conclusion. These matters have resulted in excellent trial outcomes and settlement results. Most recently, he and his trial team successfully represented one of New Jersey’s largest colleges in connection with defending against an employment discrimination claim. After a trial, which continued for nearly eight consecutive weeks, a verdict in favor of the college was returned. Likewise, Mr. Pascual successfully handled two complex construction litigations on behalf of one of the country’s largest sewerage authorities. These cases resulted in successful settlements, by which the clients were made better than whole.

In the Southern District of New York, Mr. Pascual is presently defending large commercial property owners against mass tort claims made in connection with the World Trade Center disaster. This complex matter involves over 5,000 plaintiffs and several hundred defendants. Meanwhile, in the Superior Court of New Jersey, he continues to represent and serve as lead counsel to a Canadian railway company in a complex bid protest matter.
