Are you tired of having several different lawyers at the same law firm represent your business? Do you resent being billed for each lawyer to familiarize themselves with your pending legal matter? At our firm, you will be represented by the same lawyer throughout your transaction or legal matter. In addition, your lawyer will be a senior attorney with more than 30 years of experience, not a junior associate or recent law school graduate.

Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, and Non-Profit Corporations

Our firm represents new and established businesses, including C-Corporations, S-Corporations, Limited Liability Companies (LLC’s), Partnerships, as well as Non-Profit Corporations. Whether you are forming a new business, or entering into a Shareholders’ Agreement, Partnership Agreement, Limited Partnership Agreement, LLC Operating Agreement, or business transaction, our commercial law firm can represent you or your business.

Contracts and Commercial Transactions

Don’t leave the success of a business transaction to chance by relying on a loosely drafted contract. Take advantage of our expertise in negotiating and drafting contracts of many types Whether you are entering into a confientiality agreement, non-competition agreement, business management agreement, joint venture agreement, stock option agreement, finder’s fee agreement, employment agreement, independent contractor agreement, or any other type of agreement, you will appreciate our skill and thoroughness in negotiating and drafting commercial contracts.

The importance of a skillfully negotiated and drafted contract cannot be overstated. We believe that a properly drafted contract has the power to not only protect your legal rights, but also to minimize the chance of a dispute escalating into litigation. We represent business and personal clients in diverse commercial matters. Our experienced New York contracts and commercial law firm represents businesses and individuals involved in commercial transactions, consulting work, and various types of business relationships.

Commercial Leases

When your business is entering into an Office Lease, Store Lease, or other Commercial Lease, you need a business lawyer experienced in commercial leasing. We believe that our law firm’s experience in negotiating and drafting commercial leases, as well as many other types of business contracts is a distinct advantage.

Remember that those terms, provisions and promises made by the lessor, or the lessor’s real estate agent will most likely be totally unenforceable, unless they are clearly stated in the lease agreement. We will carefully review and negotiate the terms of the proposed commercial lease, in order to protect the commercial tenant’s legal rights.

Commercial Litigation

When a commercial dispute arises, if a settlement seems even remotely possible, we can often be instrumental in negotiating a resolution. In those instances where the dispute cannot be resolved through settlement negotiations, or by mediation, we zealously represent our client in litigation or arbitration. Our vast litigation experience in the courts of New York State, as well as in Alternate Dispute Resolution forums (mediation and arbitration) give us the ability to aggressively and effectively represent our client’s interests.
