Practice Areas

Commercial Disputes & Contract Litigation

Representation in breach of contract claims, business torts, partnership disputes, and general commercial litigation. Whether an agreement was broken, a business relationship has failed, or a counterparty refuses to perform, civil litigation can enforce what was promised or obtain compensation for what was lost.

Real Estate Disputes

Claims arising from property purchases and sales, title defects, boundary and easement disputes, landlord-tenant matters, and real estate contracts that have gone wrong. Representation for buyers, sellers, owners, developers, and lenders with real property at stake.

Privacy Torts

Claims for publication of private facts, false light invasion of privacy, and intrusion upon seclusion. The internet has made privacy violations both more common and more damaging — these claims can provide meaningful relief against individuals, media organizations, and online platforms alike.

Intentional Interference with Economic Relations

Claims against third parties who wrongfully interfere with a contract, business relationship, or prospective economic advantage. These claims often run alongside breach of contract claims and can reach parties who caused a breach but are not themselves bound by the underlying agreement.

Defamation

Representation for individuals and businesses harmed by false statements of fact — in print, online, and in broadcast. This includes libel, slander, and trade libel (false statements harmful to a business's products or services). Online defamation presents particular challenges in identifying defendants and preserving evidence before it disappears.

Trusts, Estates & Estate Planning

Planning and administration of trusts and estates, including wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, and related documents. Thoughtful planning protects assets, minimizes tax exposure, and ensures that what you have built passes clearly to those you intend.

Tax Matters

Legal guidance on federal and state tax issues, including planning, structuring of transactions, and dispute resolution in connection with tax obligations.

Social Media & Influencer Disputes

Contract disputes between creators and brands, management companies, agencies, and platforms. Influencer agreements, content licensing, brand deal enforcement, and platform account disputes. As the creator economy has grown, so have the legal disputes — and few attorneys have real experience with both the contract law and the platform dynamics involved.

FINRA Arbitration

Representation of investors in FINRA arbitration against brokers and registered investment advisers for misconduct, unsuitable investment recommendations, churning, unauthorized trading, failure to supervise, and related violations. FINRA arbitration is the mandatory dispute resolution forum for most investor claims against broker-dealers.

Cryptocurrency & Digital Asset Disputes

Claims involving cryptocurrency exchanges, token sales, DeFi protocols, NFTs, and other digital assets — including fraud claims, contract disputes, and exchange insolvency matters. The governing law is still forming: UCC Article 12, Oregon DFR oversight, and applicable federal securities and commodities law all bear on these cases depending on the facts.

Internet Law

Disputes arising from online activity — platform terms of service violations, account access and termination disputes, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) claims, Section 230 immunity questions, and online harassment. Internet law requires understanding both the technical and legal dimensions of how conduct online translates into actionable claims.

Who He Serves

What Makes Him Different

David Brunk combines a traditional civil litigation practice — commercial disputes, real estate, privacy torts, defamation — with genuine depth in emerging technology law: cryptocurrency, social media, influencer agreements, and internet platform disputes. Few solo practitioners carry both. His NYU Law background and direct client access distinguish his practice from large-firm alternatives.
