Mitchell Breit

Mitchell Breit’s practice is primarily plaintiffs’ consumer litigation and he has more than 40 years’ experience, most recently as a Senior Partner at Milberg in New York City. He has long been a champion of consumer and environmental protection, litigating class actions and mass torts of national scope that have brought relief to victims of corporate wrongdoing.

His career highlights include the BP Gulf Oil Spill and Toyota Unintended Acceleration cases, acetaminophen mislabelling claims, a large overdraft fee class action against Bank of America, and environmental settlements involving Honeywell and ConocoPhillips. He was also co-counsel in cases that achieved major public health victories against the tobacco industry.

Mitchell Breit grew up in a family of lawyers and recalls going to court with his father when he was an adolescent. He is still in awe of the courtroom.

Mitchell has been named to New York Metro Super Lawyers for over a decade, recognised by The Best Lawyers in America (most recently in 2026), and was the 2024 Long Island Lawyer of the Year (where his firm’s main office was located) for Mass Tort Litigation/Class Action (Plaintiffs).
