I have had my own law practice since 2014 and I enjoy solving my clients’ problems. That’s why I constantly stay on top of the latest developments in the law and business of startups, entertainment, art, intellectual property, and commercial enterprise. I constantly keep learning because everything I learn helps me make my client’s life better. I assist clients in all aspects of copyright, trademark, contract, trade secret, business, nonprofit, employment, mediation, art, fashion, and entertainment law. Even though I am licensed to practice law in NY, I have worked for clients all over the country and even in Europe, Africa, and Latin America. No matter the client, I always look for ways to protect their assets, artworks, businesses, and brands with strategies to help them grow. I am a fluent bilingual legal professional who can analyze complex legal and business problems and solve them creatively for the benefit of my clients. I am detail-oriented and attentive which makes me excellent at negotiating, drafting, and revising all types of agreements and deals. I advise creatives and companies on intellectual property issues, risk management, and strategic planning. My clients love what I do for them because I employ a practical, client-tailored, and results-oriented approach to their case, no matter how small.

Building Lease

New York

Asked on Nov 22, 2023

What about taxes in a building lease?

I am in the process of signing a lease for a building for my business. I am looking to understand the tax implications of the lease and what I need to be aware of. I want to make sure I am in compliance with all relevant tax regulations and I am looking for advice on how to best handle taxes in the context of this lease.

Craig C.

Answered Nov 24, 2023

There are several different ways this can be handled: one situation is that you have a base tax year and as tenant are responsible for any and all amounts over that base amount. Another scenario that the Tenant is liable for all of the taxes and associated costs. Finally, and unlikely, the tenant could have zero exposure for taxes, but that’s rare. To sum it up it is whatever you negotiate with the Landlord prior to signing any lease.

Construction Services Agreement

New York

Asked on Jun 14, 2024

Can a construction services agreement be terminated by the contractor if the owner fails to make payment within the agreed timeframe?

I recently entered into a construction services agreement with a contractor to renovate my commercial property. The agreement stipulates that I will make payments to the contractor within 30 days of receiving an invoice. However, due to financial constraints, I have been unable to make timely payments and have fallen behind on several invoices. I am concerned that the contractor may terminate the agreement and leave the project unfinished if I am unable to catch up on payments. Can the contractor legally terminate the agreement if I fail to make payment within the agreed timeframe?

Arthur S.

Answered Jul 23, 2024

Simple answer...Yes. That said, most Owner/Contractor agreements....particularly AIA forms of Owner/Contractor Agreement, empower a contractor to terminate the agreement on written notice following certain work stoppage and cure periods. A more precise answer, in this instance,, would require a review of the relevant provisions of the underlying Owner/Contractor Agreement in question.

Quitclaim Deed

New York

Asked on Oct 1, 2023

What protection does quitclaim deed offer?

I am the owner of a piece of property that I recently inherited from a family member. I am considering having a quitclaim deed drawn up to transfer ownership of the property to another family member. I would like to know what protection this type of deed offers to both the grantor and grantee in order to ensure that the transfer of ownership is done legally and correctly.

Damien B.

Answered Oct 24, 2023

Generally, an owner of property and the potential purchaser would use a Quitclaim Deed when there is no need to warrant or guarantee that the property is free and clear of liens. In other words, the seller does not warrant and guarantee that the property is free and clear of any and all liens. A common use would be when the property has been in the family and the transfer of the property is between family members knowing that there are no liens on the property and all taxes have been paid on the property.

Fee Retainer Agreement

New York

Asked on Jul 12, 2024

Can you explain the purpose and terms of a Fee Retainer Agreement?

I am currently in the process of hiring a lawyer for a legal matter and have been presented with a Fee Retainer Agreement. While I understand that this document outlines the lawyer's fees and payment terms, I would like a thorough explanation of its purpose and the specific terms I should be aware of. I want to ensure that I fully understand the financial obligations and protections provided by this agreement before proceeding with legal representation.

Arthur S.

Answered Aug 19, 2024

In many states, e.g. New York, Fee Retainer agreements are required by law before any legal services can be performed. As you have indicated, the base purpose of a retainer agreement is to set forth a clear description of the scope of legal services to be performed and the fees and disbursements payable in connection with the rendering of such services. The retainer agreement should also set forth the rights of both client and attorney in the event a dispute arises between them and the methodology for resolving such dispute, e.g. arbitration vs lawsuit. The retainer agreement should also set forth the right of the client to terminate, as well as the right of the attorney to withdraw from, the attorney/client relationship.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
