William C. Buhay

Whether he’s protecting and pursuing the rights of his business and real estate clients in commercial disputes or defending corporate clients in catastrophic personal injury cases, Bill Buhay uses his accounting background to strive for the most cost-efficient resolution to the matter at hand. In his 20 plus year legal career, Bill has litigated almost every major area of law in courts across the country. Currently, he is the National Counsel for Deficiency Claims for the nation’s largest special servicer of commercial mortgage-backed securitized loans. In that role, Bill oversees the analysis and pursuit of breach of contract actions across the country. Nevertheless, he remains active in the defense world, where his practice ranges from defending products, environmental, and intellectual property liability suits to antitrust matters.
