Business & Corporate Law
Do I need a business lawyer for this?
Most business problems arrive disguised as something else — a partner who stopped answering, a contract that turned out to mean something different than you thought, a landlord asserting a clause nobody read. The legal question is rarely the first question. Bring the situation, not a diagnosis.
What this covers
- Formation — corporations, LLCs, partnerships, and the operating agreements that decide what happens when people disagree
- Contracts — drafting, reviewing, and the far more common job of working out what an existing one actually obliges you to do
- Partner and shareholder disputes, including buyouts and separations
- Purchase and sale of a business
- Commercial lease negotiation and disputes
- Vendor, supplier and customer disputes before they become litigation
When it is worth a call
- Someone has sent you a letter with a deadline in it
- You are about to sign something you don't fully understand
- A partnership is going wrong and nobody has said so out loud yet
- You are buying or selling a business
What colleagues and clients say
I trust Mitch to handle all of my real estate transactions as my Of Counsel and he always comes through and often produces results I never imagined.
I found Mitch when he jumped on a conference call that my boss and I were on with the landlord and his attorney for a prospective new location. Within minutes, he cut through all the BS and uncovered a treacherous situation we almost walked into. Immediately after the call, I told my boss, "We need this guy as our General Counsel." The rest is history.
I am Outside General Counsel for the Lagos Group, which consists of one restaurant in the heart of Times Square called Lagos TSQ, one in Harlem called Native and two restaurants in Brooklyn called Native.— Mitchell S. Drucker
It was totally like out of a movie — Lincoln Lawyer — the way you schooled them… They had no idea… We will definitely do more business. It was the best money we ever spent.
Mitch is an exceptionally skilled attorney whose professionalism, strategic approach, and command of the law were evident throughout all issues presented to him. Over the course of nearly two decades, I have confidently used Mitch’s services ranging from real estate transactions, to collections, to wealth management, to other personal matters; all handled with confidence and service that has never wavered. What particularly stood out was his attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to balance a strong legal strategy with genuine consideration for his client’s concerns and objectives. He has an impressive ability to evaluate complex legal issues, anticipate potential challenges, and explain available options in a way that is both comprehensive and easy to understand. Mitch’s combination of legal knowledge, sound judgment, effective communication, and dedication to his clients makes him an attorney I would confidently recommend to anyone seeking sophisticated and reliable legal representation.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every matter is different and depends on its own facts.
