Frequently Asked Questions
What types of real estate clients do you serve?
I represent small-to-mid-sized businesses, landlords, investors, entrepreneurs, and international buyers involved in NYC real estate transactions—commercial purchases, sales, leasing, and litigation.
What types of litigation do you handle?
I handle a broad range of real estate and commercial litigation matters. This includes contract disputes, commercial litigation involving promissory notes and other financial instruments, representation of condominium and cooperative boards, brokerage commission claims, and all types of commercial landlord-tenant disputes.
Do you work with Israeli clients investing in NYC real estate?
Yes, I regularly assist Israeli clients with NYC real estate purchases, sales, and investments. I guide them through legal, tax, and financing complexities. Learn more about these services on this dedicated page.
Do you handle both residential and commercial real estate?
My practice is focused primarily on representing landlords in commercial real estate matters, including commercial leases, mixed-use properties, multi-family buildings, and development projects across New York City. I handle residential matters selectively and primarily in support of investors and sponsors, including acquisitions, dispositions, and leasing of condos, co-ops, and townhouses as part of broader investment strategies.
Do you represent clients in debt financing transactions?
Yes. I represent both lenders and borrowers in a broad range of debt and equity financing transactions. These include construction loans, mezzanine financing, hard-money loans, acquisition loans, and refinancing. I assist with structuring, negotiating, and documenting complex financing deals, ensuring compliance with local and federal lending regulations. My clients include private lenders, institutional investors, and foreign nationals entering the U.S. market. I also advise on intercreditor agreements, loan modifications, and default workouts.
What makes your legal services different from others?
My clients know I treat every matter as if it’s my own. I bring unwavering commitment, clear communication, and a willingness to do whatever it takes—legally, strategically, and practically—to get the best results possible. That mindset was forged early in my career, when I practiced law in Israel and advised on some of the country’s largest real estate transactions, often working directly with top-tier U.S. attorneys. Today, I bring that same level of precision, urgency, and client-first focus to every deal and dispute I handle in New York.
