Business & Commercial Litigation
Our litigation services are by no means restricted to real estate-related cases. Our general civil litigation practice is extensive and multi-dimensional. We have zealously represented corporate clients and individuals, both as plaintiffs and defendants, in myriad matters. Foremost in our minds is achieving the realistic goals of our clients. In some cases that means a full trial on the merits. In others, summary disposition or motion practice may be the preferred vehicle. Of course, given our calibrated approach to all matters, if developments suggest that settlement or mediation is the best interests of the client, we do not hesitate to recommend it. The business litigation we have handled over the years has arisen out of subject matter areas that include banking, close corporations, insurance and employment. Our work takes us up the state court appellate ladder as well as across the court system (e.g., into the Federal District and Bankruptcy Courts). Institutions, such as banks and title companies, closely held firms in the manufacturing and service sectors, and professionals in fields such as medicine and dentistry, appreciate the high quality of our services, which are delivered at reasonable rates relative to large firms practicing in the New York metro area. The types of cases that we have handled include the following:
- Bank Defense
- Insurance Coverage Disputes
- Loan Recovery and Commercial Collections
- Negotiable Instruments
- UCC Article 2 and 9 Cases
- International Trade Disputes
- Unfair Competition
- Trademark Disputes
