Operating a condominium or cooperative board in the New York City area comes with significant challenges. Conflicts between unit owners and the condominium association, or shareholders and the co-op board, and other disputes require the advice and counsel of an experienced condominium and cooperative lawyer.
Intellectual Property & Technology
In 1982, 38% of the value of a multinational corporation was its intangible assets; in 1998, that figure was 85%. Currently, the oft-quoted figure is that as much as 90% of the value of the world’s top 2000 enterprises will consist of intellectual property. This is significant for an area of the law that is relatively new; the very concept that ideas can be protected and enforced by law is no more than 300 years old. Its purpose has been the recognition of expertise and the promotion of innovation; this, in turn, enables incentives for investment while providing barriers to competition.

From wage and hour claims and workers’ compensation to wrongful termination and retaliation, we are committed to helping employers and employees understand their rights and obligations under federal and state law.
