How It Works
1. Tell us about your claim. Unpaid invoices, a broken contract, a partner dispute: we review it at no cost.
2. We agree on a contingency fee. If your case is a fit, we structure a fee arrangement tied to the result, so you are not paying hourly bills as the case goes on.
3. We get to work. No fee is earned unless we recover money for you through a settlement or judgment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a contingency fee work in a business case?
Instead of billing by the hour, the firm is paid a percentage of the money it recovers for you through a settlement or judgment. If nothing is recovered, no attorney’s fee is owed. The percentage, and how case expenses such as filing and court fees are handled, are set out in a written agreement before any work begins.
What kinds of business disputes do you take on contingency?
We regularly handle breach of contract and license agreement claims, unpaid invoices and sales commissions, partnership and shareholder disputes including minority freeze-outs and business divorces, executive employment agreements, and disputes involving start-up companies.
What makes a case a good fit for contingency?
The strongest candidates have three things: a clear legal claim, documents that support it (a contract, invoices, emails or other correspondence), and a defendant with the ability to pay a settlement or judgment. The amount at stake also needs to justify the time and cost of litigation.
What does it cost if we do not win?
You owe no attorney’s fee if there is no recovery. Your written agreement spells out how any out-of-pocket case expenses are treated, so you know the full picture before the case starts.
How long does a business lawsuit take?
Every case is different. Some resolve within a few months through a demand letter or early settlement, while others proceed through discovery and trial over a year or more. We give you a realistic timeline once we understand the facts.
Where do you handle cases?
We represent businesses and executives in New York and Connecticut from our offices in Manhattan and Greenwich.
What should I have ready for a free case review?
A short summary of what happened, who the other party is, and roughly how much is at stake. If you have the contract, invoices or key emails, keep them handy, but you do not need to send confidential documents with your first inquiry.
