Kohan Law Group handles a broad range of commercial litigation for clients throughout Long Island and the five boroughs of New York City. We pride ourselves on providing not only forceful legal representation but personalized attention as well. Our attorneys are dedicated and determined to arrive at resolutions that serve your best interests, whether they are between competing businesses, between companies and individuals, or between individuals within the same company.
Having an Adept Commercial Litigation Lawyer Makes All the Difference
If you are faced with a business dispute, trust our experienced commercial litigation attorneys to provide objective advice and powerful advocacy. We are well-equipped to handle a wide range of complex commercial disputes with carefully crafted legal strategies in each of the following areas:
Contract Disputes
Contract disputes frequently arise regarding the sale and delivery of goods, commercial leases, partnership agreements, insurance settlements, or non-compete clauses. In any of these contract conflicts, our commercial litigation attorneys have your back and will ensure that your rights are protected.
Shareholder Disputes
Conflicts between corporate executives and shareholders are not uncommon, often related to issues pertaining to voting rights, dividend distribution, corporate rules, or the wording of shareholder agreements. Because such disputes can sometimes precipitate dire consequences, Kohan’s attorneys handle such matters with the combination of sharp legal skills and diplomacy they require.
Partnership Disputes
Disagreements between business partners over conflicting views on governing policies or corporate direction can easily escalate, potentially putting the company’s reputation and profitability at risk. Our commercial litigation lawyers are well-trained in the art of resolution. Depending on the circumstances, we will work hard to resolve partnership disputes through negotiations, mediation, or aggressive litigation.
In many cases, our legal team can help to resolve partnership issues so your company can continue to move forward in a positive direction. When this is not possible, we are adept at arranging a business divorce. With as little stress and confusion as possible, we will find the most efficient ways to divide assets, assign debts, and protect intellectual property.
Disputes With Other Companies and Individuals
Litigation can be necessary for a number of reasons, including when a customer or client is dissatisfied with a company’s product or services or when a company is disappointed or enraged by a supplier’s failure to fulfill a crucial order. Litigation of such issues may result from:
Business Torts
Business torts are wrongful acts against a business that result in economic harm, such as profit loss, reputational damage, or loss of competitive edge, due to misdeeds like tortious interference, defamation, or unfair competition.
Fraudulent Misrepresentation
Fraudulent misrepresentation involves misconduct (e.g., deceptive trade practices)
in which one party deliberately deceives another. If your company has been victimized by fraudulent misrepresentation, our strong commercial litigation attorneys will fight aggressively to see that your company receives full compensation for the damage it has sustained.
Government Compliance
It is a rare company that is never confronted by questions about its compliance with government regulations. Whether you simply need clarification about the intricate rules of the IRS, SEC, or EPA or fear that your company may not be in compliance, Kohan Law Group is here to help. Our commercial litigation attorneys know the ins and outs of government agency regulations and can inform and advise you accordingly.
Alternatives to Commercial Litigation
Not only is our legal team available to litigate disputes that have already reached the boiling point. We are also well-equipped to negotiate, draft documents, and intervene in the early stages of trouble to avoid courtroom confrontations. In many cases, we can tamp down business conflicts and settle them with one of the following nonadversarial processes:
Mediation
Mediation lends itself to smooth resolution with as little dissension as possible. In this type of resolution, the mediator is a well-trained neutral third party whose goal is to arrive at a solution that satisfies the opposing sides. Our attorneys have the refined negotiation skills to guide you through this process. We know precisely how to navigate so that we meet your goals while arriving at common ground.
Arbitration
Another method of alternative dispute resolution is arbitration. During arbitration, a disinterested third party qualified in this field will hear both sides of the dispute and come to a legally binding decision. Our attorneys are experienced in presenting persuasive evidence and convincing arguments during arbitration, much the same way we do in court. We also have an impressive record of prevailing in the arbitration process
Of course, even with the best intentions, there are times when alternative resolution methods just won’t work. At such times, we are always flexible and ready to litigate on your behalf. Courtroom savvy and with a well-earned reputation for convincing arguments, any of our attorneys will be a commanding presence who provides you with a distinctive advantage over opposing counsel.
