Commercial Non-Payment and Holdover Proceedings
Representing clients in commercial non-payment and lease breach disputes is a long-standing practice area of the firm. Several of our senior partners practice in this area and appear in the commercial parts of the Civil Court in New York, Kings, Queens and Bronx counties. They create strategic plans for aggressive, timely action in order to yield the successful recovery of substantial monetary sums or possession in the non-payment area and recovery of possession in the holdover area. Areas of expertise include:
- Lease interpretation to best protect the client’s interests
- Knowledge of escalation clauses and other items of additional rents found in commercial leases
- Court-room savvy and the ability to settle when necessary
- Prosecution of all types of holdovers such as those involving (i) illegal alterations (ii) lease breaches (iii) building code and other violations (iv) illegal use (v) violations of the certificate of occupancy (vi) conditional limitations and (viii) illegal subletting and assignment.
