About the Firm

Borah Goldstein is one of the leading firms specializing in actions and proceedings related to all aspects of real estate law. Founded more than thirty years ago, the firm has successfully advocated on behalf of property owners in the difficult rent regulated environment found in New York City. Throughout this time, the firm’s litigation and appellate specialists have won numerous landmark victories for property owners. These victories, in turn, have led to significant legislation benefiting owners.

In addition, the firm’s partners have played pivotal roles in the development of real estate policy and related legislation as members of the New York County Lawyers and New York State Bar Associations’ Civil Court and Landlord-Tenant Committees, as well as various real estate oriented committees of those bar associations and the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. Equally important, the firm’s partners are active in many prominent advocacy organizations.

As a leading voice in the industry, members of the firm are often asked to serve on a variety of public bodies concerned with housing and real estate.

To serve our clients to the best extent possible, we have organized our firm into “divisions” which specialize in the diverse areas of real estate law.
