Business Focused Legal Counsel

When you come to us, you are usually dealing with a concrete issue that cannot wait. You might be choosing a structure for a new venture, preparing to sign a major customer contract, addressing a shareholder disagreement, or facing a lawsuit that could affect cash flow. Our priority is to understand the business implications of your legal question.

We work closely with owners, management teams, and in-house counsel to align legal strategy with your objectives. That includes considering board expectations, investor relationships, lender requirements, and your internal culture. Our goal is to help you balance risk management with the need to move deals forward and keep operations running.

Because we are often involved at the board level, we see how governance, contracts, and regulatory compliance intersect in practice. This perspective helps us present clear options, with practical explanations of how each route may affect control, valuation, and future flexibility. You receive candid, actionable advice, not abstract theory.

For clients who prefer an ongoing relationship, we can serve in a role similar to outside general counsel. We coordinate across our practice groups so your corporate attorney, litigators, and other team members are working from the same understanding of your business. This continuity can reduce both risk and transaction costs over the long term.

Corporate Law Services Across The Lifecycle

Your company’s needs evolve as you move from launch to maturity. We support you through each stage, starting with entity selection and formation under New York law. We help you think through ownership structure, management rights, and capital needs so that your corporation or limited liability company is built to handle change, not just the first year of operations.

Sound governance is essential as your ownership group grows or new investors come on board. We assist with bylaws, shareholder agreements, operating agreements, and board policies that clarify roles and decision-making authority. Our work is informed by our experience in shareholder and partnership disputes, so we focus on addressing pressure points before they become conflicts.

As your company raises capital or enters strategic transactions, our corporate lawyers advise on venture financings, private equity investments, joint ventures, and mergers or acquisitions. We work to negotiate terms that reflect your risk tolerance and growth plans, and we coordinate with our commercial litigation and appellate colleagues so transaction structures can withstand scrutiny if challenged later.

Many Garden City companies also own or lease significant real estate or rely on technology and data assets. Our firm’s real estate, technology, and data privacy practice groups collaborate with your corporate attorney to address these dimensions within larger deals. This integrated approach can help reduce blind spots and streamline complex transactions.

Commercial Contracts and Disputes

Commercial relationships often define your day-to-day risk. We help clients negotiate, review, and refine the agreements that keep their businesses moving. This includes supply and distribution contracts, service agreements, licensing arrangements, technology and data terms, confidentiality agreements, and the commercial parts of real estate deals tied to operations in Garden City or the broader region.

Our commercial attorneys focus on identifying where obligations, performance standards, and remedies may create unexpected exposure. We work to propose revisions that are realistic for both sides, so you can preserve relationships while clarifying expectations. We also help you develop contract frameworks and playbooks that support consistent negotiation across your organization.

Even well-drafted agreements can lead to disagreements when business conditions change. Our commercial litigation team represents companies in contract disputes, business tort cases, and other commercial conflicts in New York courts, including matters that may be heard in Nassau County Supreme Court. We evaluate both legal strength and business impact, then discuss negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation as potential paths.

Our litigators and transactional attorneys collaborate closely. Lessons from disputes inform how we draft and negotiate agreements, and insights from deal work help guide litigation strategy that reflects your ongoing commercial priorities. For many clients, this coordinated approach reduces disruption and supports business continuity, even when conflict cannot be avoided.

Working With Our Business Attorneys

Engaging outside counsel should make your decision-making easier, not more complicated. When you contact us, we begin by learning about your business model, your role, and the specific matter that brought you to us. We ask about your objectives, timelines, and any stakeholders who will be involved in approving the outcome.

From there, we identify which of our practice groups should be involved. For example, a corporate restructuring may draw on corporate, tax, and commercial litigation perspectives, while a technology contract can benefit from input by our technology and data privacy team. We work on staff matters efficiently while preserving direct communication between you and the senior attorneys leading the work.

Throughout an engagement, we emphasize clear communication. We discuss your preferred level of detail, who on your team should receive updates, and how decisions will be made internally. Our attorneys are accessible to answer questions and to help you explain legal considerations to boards, executives, or investors as needed.

Many clients continue working with us after an initial project because they value having a business attorney who already understands their history and risk profile. Whether we are handling recurring contract work, advising on governance, or responding to a dispute, we aim to provide consistent guidance that reflects the bigger picture for your company.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I involve a business attorney?

It is usually best to involve a business attorney before you sign key documents or take steps that are difficult to reverse. We often help clients at formation, before major contracts, during ownership changes, and when a dispute first appears, so you can evaluate options while they are still flexible.

How will your firm learn about my business?

We begin with detailed discussions about your operations, industry, and goals. We review governing documents and key contracts, and we speak with the people who drive decisions. Over time, as we handle additional matters, we build institutional knowledge so our guidance reflects your company’s specific context.

Can you handle both deals and disputes?

Yes, our firm advises on corporate transactions and handles commercial litigation related to those relationships. Corporate and litigation attorneys collaborate so that deals are structured with potential disputes in mind, and disputes are managed with awareness of ongoing business and contractual commitments.

Do you work with boards and investors?

We frequently work with boards and leadership teams on governance, strategic transactions, and risk oversight. When companies have investors or are preparing for financing, we take those expectations into account. Our familiarity with venture capital and private equity dynamics helps us frame issues in ways stakeholders can evaluate.

What should I expect in our first meeting?

In an initial meeting, we focus on understanding your objectives, timelines, and constraints. We ask questions about your company, the matter at hand, and any prior steps taken. We then outline potential paths forward so you can decide how you would like us to proceed.
