Contract Law and Business Representation

We negotiate and meticulously prepare contracts for various types of transactions, commercial relationships and business deals. The advantage of having experienced legal counsel negotiate and prepare a contract cannot be overemphasized.  All contracts are not alike, and they are rarely "standard" or "boilerplate."

Sophisticated business owners know that almost all of their business disputes are over contract terms, and they want to be able to rely on the strength of their contracts in case of litigation.  In our opinion a company's contracts are vital to successful business, and we understand this importance.

We have extensive experience preparing:
  • Shareholders’ Agreements
  • Partnership Agreements
  • Vendor Contracts
  • Joint Venture Agreements
  • License Agreements
  • Management Contracts
  • Employment Contracts
  • Construction Contracts
  • Buy Out Agreements

In addition, we prepare numerous very specific types of contracts depending upon a clients' business needs.

The firm also regularly counsels corporations, partnerships and businesses on a variety of matters involving the formation of corporate, partnership, Subchapter S, and limited liability entities (LLC's and LLP's), and on commercial transactions and corporate governance and compliance issues.

We render general legal advice and counseling to our business clients on an almost daily basis, and, in this regard, we have developed a pro-active legal formula to enable us to represent our business clients often on a flat-fee basis.  For many of our clients we fill the role of trusted outside general counsel.


​We represent clients in matters of:
  • Corporate Governance
  • Business Formation, including Partnerships, Corporations and Limited Liability Companies
  • Shareholder and Partnership Relations
  • Asset and Stock Acquisitions
  • Agency, Vendor, Distributor and Customer Contracts
  • Licensing

Business and Commercial Litigation

The firm represents both plaintiffs and defendants in all phases of complex litigation in the New York State courts and in the Federal courts, from the initial pleading stages to trial, appeals and judgment enforcement proceedings.  We also represent clients in non-traditional litigation forums such as mediation and arbitration, and before the various Federal and New York State and City administrative agencies.

The primary focus of our commercial litigation practice is the prosecution and defense of business disputes, including, breach of contract claims, merchant and vendor disputes, business torts, fraud and misrepresentation claims, and shareholder and partner disputes.
