Francis G.X. Pileggi, Esq.

Summary

For over 30 years, I have practiced in the areas of corporate and commercial litigation as well as other complex litigation and administrative proceedings. My practice includes representation in high-stakes disputes for a wide range of clients in many industries as well as for utility companies, government entities and non-profits in multiple states. I have also litigated successfully, in both federal and state appellate courts, groundbreaking Second Amendment cases and related constitutional issues on behalf of civil rights organizations. I have been hired to testify as an expert in Delaware corporate law and LLC law. My published articles have been cited by the Delaware Supreme Court, the Delaware Court of Chancery, and the Delaware Superior Court. My litigation practice emphasizes representation in complex disputes of corporations, stockholders, members of boards of directors, members and managers of LLCs, and those with managerial or ownership interests in other forms of entities. I have extensive experience in matters involving fiduciary duties and corporate governance as well as summary proceedings under the Delaware General Corporation Law in the Delaware Court of Chancery. I created and maintain the Delaware Corporate and Commercial Litigation Blog at www.delawarelitigation.com, which was named one of LexisNexis'​ Top 25 Business Law Blogs and was selected for inclusion in the ABA Journal's Blawg 100. In turn, I have been described as "a brand name in Delaware corporate litigation."​ For over 25 years, I have published a column on legal ethics for the national publication of the American Inns of Court. I have represented several townships in Delaware County and Chester County, Pennsylvania, as special counsel on litigation matters, and have also represented a school district in Delaware County, as well as other educational and non-profit institutions in Pennsylvania and elsewhere on corporate governance, litigation and related issues. On May 1, 2020, I became the Managing Partner of the new Delaware office of the Lewis Brisbois firm. www.LewisBrisbois.com
