Residential Real Estate

  • Condominium and cooperative transactions

Small Business Law: Clear Guidance for Growing Companies

Launching and running a business in New York is an achievement in itself. We help you build a strong legal foundation so you can focus on growth, not guesswork.

Business Formation

  • LLCs, partnerships, S-corps, and corporations

  • Operating agreements and shareholder agreements

  • Partnership terms and dispute-avoidance planning

  • Registered agent and compliance setup

We don’t just file paperwork — we design a structure that protects your personal assets, clarifies ownership, and reduces future conflict.

Contracts & Transactions

  • Client contracts and service agreements

  • Vendor and supplier agreements

  • Licensing and intellectual property protections

  • Joint venture and investor agreements

  • Buying or selling a business

Every contract you sign represents a relationship. We draft and negotiate agreements that strengthen those relationships — while keeping your rights and profits intact.

Commercial Leases for Small Businesses

A bad commercial lease can sink an otherwise healthy business. We help tenants and owners:

  • Negotiate fair terms

  • Limit unexpected cost escalations

  • Understand use, build-out, and insurance clauses

  • Protect goodwill and future transfer rights

Whether you're opening a brick-and-mortar shop, launching a studio, or expanding an office, we make sure your lease supports your success.
