Bio

Courtney Rockett represents large corporations, private equity firms, celebrities, and others in high-stakes, complex civil litigation matters. She focuses her practice on complex commercial transactions, partnership disputes, securities matters, entertainment disputes, and intellectual property litigation. Prior to joining Mintz, Courtney was a partner at a national law firm based in New York, where she established an exceptionally strong, 20-year track record — obtaining highly favorable settlements for a diverse and substantial portfolio of clients. Dynamic and assertive, Courtney regularly delivers creative litigation strategies in high-stakes and sensitive litigation matters. She is recognized for her ability to take over as lead litigator, reframing cases that have proceeded far down a less than optimal path. Her clients have included Tory Burch LLC, Eden Rock Group, Fox Paine & Company, Freestream Aircraft (Bermuda) Limited, Zurich Financial Services Group, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony Music Entertainment, Ron Howard, and John Lurie, among many others. Courtney is regularly named one of the top lawyers by New York Metro Super Lawyers. She serves as District Leader for New York’s Ninth Judicial District and is a member of the Executive Committee of the New York Bar Association’s Commercial and Federal Litigation Section. Before she joined her previous firm as an associate in 2001, Courtney clerked for the Honorable Joseph M. McLaughlin, U.S. Court of Appeals, Second Circuit, and for the Honorable William C. Conner, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York.
