Mr. Wapner concentrates his practice on the representation of corporations and other business enterprises in complex litigation involving commercial torts and contract disputes. Mr. Wapner also was selected by the New Jersey Law Journal (NJLJ) for its 2011 "40 Under 40" list. According to its Editor-in-Chief, the NJLJ generally chooses attorneys "who have developed practice niches, demonstrated leadership potential by work in practice groups or committees and amassed a thick book of business and/or a solid record of trial, appellate or transactional work." The NJLJ selects for inclusion in its "40 Under 40" list those attorneys with "special attributes that supersede their résumés," and those who stand out as having established themselves "by proven expertise in practice areas, by acceptance of important management roles at their firms, by rain-making ability and by strong community involvement and volunteerism - all of which make up the stuff of future leaders of the profession."
