General Counsel for Co-op, Condo,
& Association Boards

Your building’s legal backbone. We advise cooperative, condominium and association boards on governance, insurance, employment matters, regulatory compliance, and fiduciary responsibilities. Whether preparing essential documents, advising as to proxy contests or running or attending board/unit owner meetings, we help boards operate smoothly and confidently.

Sponsor - Developer Representation

Providing comprehensive legal support for sponsor-developers from acquisition to development and sales.  We navigate regulatory compliance, manage risk and help to cultivate strong relationships with association boards and unit owners.  

Strategic Real Estate Advisory

We provide a la carte, consultant-based services on a flat fee basis.  We partner with boards, individual board members and officers, shareholders, unit owners, management companies, and sponsor-developers to tackle the legal and business challenges that come with running a building. Our proactive approach and creative solutions help prevent issues before they escalate, saving you time and resources.

Navigating Governmental Approvals
& Development

Red tape doesn’t have to be a roadblock. We work with key agencies including, but not limited to, the New York Attorney General’s Office and the New York City Department of Finance to secure approvals, form new condominiums, create or merge tax lots, and handle other regulatory needs essential for development and operations. 

Seamless Ownership Transfers

We take the complexity out of cooperative ownership transfers. From drafting assignment documents to managing stock certificates and ensuring compliance, whether we are acting as transfer agent or advising managing agents, we handle the details so transactions stay on track and stress-free.  

Modernizing Governing Documents
& Policies

Your building’s foundation isn’t just about its bricks and mortar, but rather the rules that keep it running efficiently and effectively. We help boards draft, refine, and update governing documents, including declarations, bylaws, proprietary leases, alteration agreements, and leasing policies, ensuring they align with both current legal requirements and the evolving needs of your community.

Contracts That Work for You

Strong contracts prevent future headaches. We draft, negotiate, and review agreements related to construction, alterations, management, leasing, licensing and access rights, ensuring your interests are safeguarded from the onset.

Closings Without the Chaos

Buying and selling in a cooperative or condominium can be complicated, but we make it seamless. We manage closings with precision, coordinating between buyers, sellers, and boards for a smooth, compliant transaction every step of the way.

Resolving Disputes, Protecting Your Interests

Not every disagreement needs to end in court. We advise boards and owners on resolving conflicts related to construction defects, access rights, governance, assessments, budgetary allocations, collections, fiduciary duties and more. When litigation is necessary, we fight strategically and effectively to secure the best possible outcome.

Finance & Loan Agreements, Simplified 

Whether you're securing a building-wide loan or negotiating financing terms, we help boards and sponsor-developers protect their interests and ensure favorable agreements.
