Rajvir S. Goomer is a partner in the Transactional Group at the firm where he focuses on corporate law, business acquisitions, commercial and residential real estate, landlord tenant leases and litigation, intellectual property, municipal government and redevelopment law. His corporate practice includes corporate formations, purchase asset agreements, stock purchase agreements, and shareholder disputes. Rajvir has successfully guided clients through various commercial closings, ranging from small business transactions to multi-million dollar, multi-entity transactions.

Well versed in governmental law, Rajvir has over ten years of experience as a township attorney, providing legal counsel at hundreds of municipal meetings and hearings. He provides legal services to municipal administrations in all aspects of public entity legal matters, including local public contracts law, municipal litigation, eminent domain, and municipal ordinances.

Rajvir has a unique understanding of transactional law due to his undergraduate education, a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a Minor in Business, and his focus on Intellectual Property Law at Rutgers University School of Law. Parties in various transactions often overlook the intellectual property aspects of the deal. Rajvir’s background allows his clients to retain ownership of any copyrights, trademarks or patents that may be omitted in a transaction. Rajvir has successfully defended trademark infringement claims and cease and desist notices, and prepared Work for Hire Agreements and Licensing Agreements.

In addition to his transactional law practice, Rajvir has over ten years of experience in election law representing candidates on election day issues, provisional ballot challenges, recounts, and election petitions. He has successfully represented multiple candidates in election trials in Middlesex and Monmouth Counties.

While pursuing his undergraduate degree at Virginia Commonwealth University, he served as President of the Indian Student Association and co-founded the Sikh Student Association.
