Just four months after David Graff left Anderson Kill to join Robins Kaplan, the New York commercial litigator has left the Minneapolis-founded firm, opting to start his own small litigation shop.

Graff this month launched Graff Silverstein, partnering with Matthew Silverstein, who practiced as an associate with Graff at both Anderson Kill and Robins Kaplan. Graff said the new firm could hire a few other attorneys as of counsel in the near future.
