Contract Disputes and Breach of Agreement Claims
Contract litigation often centers on breaches, non-payment, performance failures, or violated non-compete and non-solicitation clauses. We analyze the agreement, document breaches, and pursue remedies that may include damages, injunctions, or specific performance.
Whether you need to enforce a contract or defend against an improper claim, we bring both negotiation skill and courtroom readiness to your case.
Shareholder, Partnership, and Intra-Corporate Disputes
Internal business conflicts can threaten a company’s future. We assist clients facing:
- Voting and control disputes
- Dividend disagreements
- Allegations of breach of fiduciary duty
- Minority shareholder oppression
- Mismanagement or self-dealing
We work to stabilize the business, protect ownership rights, and resolve conflicts through mediation, structured negotiations, or litigation in New York’s Commercial Division.
Business Torts and Fraud Matters
When your company suffers economic harm due to wrongful conduct, immediate action is critical. We handle claims involving:
- Tortious interference
- Defamation harming business reputation
- Unfair competition
- Fraudulent misrepresentation
- Deceptive trade practices
We pursue compensation, injunctive relief, and other remedies designed to protect your business’s financial position and market standing.
Regulatory and Government Compliance Issues
Businesses across New York frequently face compliance questions involving IRS, SEC, EPA, labor, or industry-specific regulations. We provide guidance when compliance concerns arise and defend companies facing investigations or enforcement actions. Our attorneys help reduce exposure and resolve compliance issues with minimal disruption.
Early Resolution, Mediation, and Arbitration
Not every dispute must reach the courtroom. We regularly resolve matters through:
- Negotiation — reaching practical solutions that protect your position.
- Mediation — working with neutral mediators to find common ground.
- Arbitration — presenting compelling evidence and argument before arbitrators who issue binding decisions.
While we aim for efficient outcomes, we remain ready to pivot to litigation if alternative methods fail.
Litigation Strategy and Courtroom Advocacy
When a dispute escalates, you need attorneys who know how to build a case, present evidence, and anticipate opposing arguments. Our litigation strategy includes:
- Rapid assessment of claims and defenses
- Immediate preservation of evidence
- Injunctions and urgent court filings, when necessary
- Thorough preparation for trial
- Aggressive advocacy at hearings and in New York’s Commercial Division
We understand that litigation is both a legal and business decision — and we guide you through every stage.
