We handle both plaintiff and defendant work encompassing all aspects of commercial litigation in traditional forums and through alternate dispute resolution. Although frequently involved in trial practice, much of our work is consultative in nature. As such, we act in a more advisory capacity or pre-litigation mode where we are attempting to solve business disagreements and partnership disputes without commencing a formal action. This often occurs when small businesses undergo a significant change such as a partnership split or business "divorce" or, in the case of a closely held business, a transition of ownership. Additional areas of focus include commercial contract actions and personal service contracts, both in negotiation and in contests questioning the parties' adherence to contract terms. In this regard, we have been involved in several arbitration cases involving major sports teams. We also handle cases involving insurance disputes including contesting insurance valuations and coverage refusals.

We do a significant amount of work in commercial real estate. Currently, we represent a large commercial developer in Manhattan and have extensive experience with the types of issues facing real estate developers today. We deal with a range of cases involving real estate such as foreclosures, coping with regulatory restrictions, other potential lease or development limitations and restructurings. We also deal with the more traditional aspects of commercial real estate such as lease negotiations and establishing the ownership structure of a development.
