Biography

Co-Chair, Business Litigation Group

Mr. Cieslik focuses his practice in the representation of individuals, small businesses, not-for-profits and health care providers. He regularly represents doctors, nurses, medical practices, physical therapists, massage therapists, and other health care providers with their health care, legal, and related needs. This includes representations related to privacy, HIPPA, data privacy and breach, shareholders rights, employment rights, and rights under regulatory and professional board claims and assertions. His representation includes service as general counsel for a large medical practice handling their health care, privacy, data privacy, HIPPA, general defense, employment, property, and other litigation needs. He also represents physicians and medical practices in shareholder, business and other disputes. In his general business practice, he represents entrepreneurs, realtors, and other business people with their litigation and defense needs.

Mr. Cieslik provides his clients with a sophisticated, nuanced approach to solving problems that reflects an understanding of the concerns of modern business. He counsels clients in pre-litigation matters and seeks to assist clients in resolving disputes and problems at the early stages, through a common sense and real-world approach to business solutions, in order to avoid adverse publicity, minimize the risk of adverse litigation, and save the time and costs of expensive litigation. Mr. Cieslik’s trial experience allows him to advise clients on the potential liabilities they face, analyze risk, and devise a strategy to best protect the client and its interests.

Locally he represents and supports not-for-profits with their every-day business needs including affordable housing, disability care and rights, contracts, defense, employment and regulatory matters. This includes several not for profits who provide affordable housing and affordable rent solutions to persons as well as other worthwhile programs in the City of Camden.

For many years Mr. Cieslik served as the Chairman for the South Jersey March of Dimes Walk for Babies and 5K Run for Babies. He currently serves on the board of Neighbours Inc. which provides community living and support coordination services designed to support people with disabilities and their families in choosing and creating a life for themselves. He currently serves as a member of the local affordable housing board and as alumni president at his High School alma matter. He also volunteers coaching track and cross country and enjoys long distance running including competing in the Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and prestigious Boston Marathons.
