Meet Your Business Lawyer

As a business lawyer, I recognize that a business – no matter the size – and its owners, partners and shareholders are challenged with substantially greater exposure to legal issues than any individual would on a daily basis.  Whether it involves not being paid for outstanding invoices, disputes with partners, employment-related issues, understanding corporate regulations, engaging with litigious vendors, or a variety of other business litigation issues, you will need to be represented by an attorney and law firm which can not only get the work done, but will work WITH you at solving your problems.  Our experience in large New York City commercial litigation law firms and representing Fortune 500 companies prepared us for meeting the challenges you face.

 

Business Litigation

Contracts And Agreements

Having seen, witnessed and represented clients on various causes for breach of contract, it is imperative to have a knowledgeable business lawyer be able to draft contracts and agreements such as purchase and sale agreements, marketing-agency agreements, affiliate agreements, an operating agreement, joint ventures, and partnership agreements. A well-prepared contract or agreement can save you lots of money and future litigation aggravation.

 
 

Breach Of Contract

In almost every commercial litigation dispute, there are two sides alleging completely incongruent positions.

The essential elements of a breach of contract cause of action are:

(i) the existence of a contract

(ii) the plaintiff’s (or claimant’s) performance pursuant to the contract;

(iii) the defendant’s breach of his or her contractual obligations

(iv) and damages resulting from the breach.

Generally, a party alleging a breach of contract must demonstrate the existence of a contract reflecting the terms and conditions of their purported agreement. Furthermore, a plaintiff’s allegations must identify the provisions of the contract that were breached. Finding the right business lawyer who understands your vision, your business dreams, and especially your passion, is crucial for the future of your business.

Issues that may arise in Business

Partnership Agreements

Partners may, absent prohibitory provisions of the statutes or of rules of the common law relating to partnerships, or considerations of public policy, include in the partnership articles any agreement the partners desire to include. The partners of either a general or limited partnership, between themselves, may include in the partnership articles any agreement they wish concerning the sharing of profits and losses, priorities of distribution on winding up of the partnership affairs and other matters.

Fraud And Misrepresentation

The law recognizes two kinds of fraud: actual fraud and constructive fraud. In order to sustain an action for actual fraud, a plaintiff must prove: (1) that the defendant made a representation (2) as to a material fact (3) which was false (4) and known to be false by the defendant (5) that the representation was made for the purpose of inducing the other party to rely upon it (6) that the other party rightfully did so rely on that statement (7) in ignorance of its falsity (8) to his injury.

Theft Of Trade Secrets

The elements of misappropriation of trade secrets are: (1) that plaintiff possessed a trade secret, and (2) that the defendants used that trade secret in breach of an agreement, confidential relationship or duty, or as a result of discovery by improper means. A trade secret is any formula, pattern, device or compilation of information which is used in one’s business, and which gives him an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it.

Breach Of Fiduciary Duty

To maintain a claim for breach of fiduciary duty, a plaintiff must show that he or she was owed a fiduciary duty in the first place. This is typically the case with shareholders of a corporation or where a party is in a relationship which would have violated his or her trust. For example, an executor of an estate who diverts money left by a decedent violates his fiduciary duty bound upon him by law to not steal from the remaining beneficiaries of the estate.
