Samuel Mandel

Samuel Mandel represents individuals and businesses in all aspects of civil litigation, with a concentrated focus on complex tort and general casualty, products liability, and transportation matters. He brings a detail-oriented, analytical approach to the defense of claims across these practice areas, leveraging the rigorous financial and transactional acumen he developed earlier in his career.

Prior to joining Wilson Elser, Samuel worked for a premier international accounting and consulting firm, where he primarily handled tax law matters for clients involved in various mergers and acquisitions. This experience provided him with a strong foundation in managing complex, multi-faceted cases and navigating intricate regulatory frameworks—skills that directly enhance his ability to evaluate liability exposure and develop effective defense strategies in tort and casualty litigation.

Samuel gained valuable experience in law school as an intern at a Canadian multinational bank, where he conducted legal research and assisted with contract negotiations and the drafting of trade and finance agreements related to mergers and acquisitions. His background in high-stakes financial transactions and contract analysis equips him with a keen understanding of risk assessment and documentation, which he applies to the defense of products liability, transportation, and general casualty claims.
