Real Estate Transactions

We provide counsel on the drafting and negotiation of contracts of sale, occupancy agreements, escrow agreements, as well as other ancillary agreements.
Real Estate Litigation
We represent owners, developers, contractors and residential and commercial tenants in disputes pertaining to real property, bed bug infestation, breach of contract claims, commercial and residential landlord-tenant non-payment and holdover proceedings, foreclosure of liens and mortgages, adverse possession disputes, partition suits, construction litigation, property damage claims, lease disputes, real estate brokerage claims, and condominium association and cooperative corporation disputes. The law firm has the capability to appear in New York State Court and apply for emergency requests through motion practice seeking a “Yellowstone” injunction and other equitable relief that would prevent a landlord from prematurely terminating a client’s lease.
