About

The firm’s real estate litigation department is recognized as one of the leading such departments in New York City.  Comprised of a group of highly skilled lawyers, well versed in substantive law and procedure, the department represents real estate developers, owners, sponsors, sellers, purchasers, commercial tenants, joint venture partners, and managing and minority members of LLC’s.  Unusual for a department of this nature, its members have broad experience representing defendants in class action lawsuits and representing both plaintiffs and defendants in derivative actions. The department’s clients range from the largest developers and real property owners in New York City to mid-size companies and high net worth individuals.  In addition to extensive trial courtroom experience, members of the department have repeatedly and successfully represented litigants on appeal in the Appellate Divisions for the First and Second Departments (covering the New York City area) as well as in the New York Court of Appeals, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and the Delaware Court of Chancery.
