Commercial Real Estate Litigation in NYC: a Strategic Guide to Dispute Resolution & Rights Protection
In a New York commercial lease dispute, the deadline that matters is usually days away, not months. A notice to cure starts a clock that a lawsuit cannot stop. Once the cure period expires, the lease terminates — and the strength of the tenant's position becomes irrelevant. A Yellowstone injunction, sought before that period runs, is what preserves the ability to litigate at all. Missing it is the most consequential and least recoverable error in this area. Guarantors face the same problem in reverse. A good guy guaranty releases the guarantor only on strict compliance: proper notice, rent current through the notice period, premises delivered vacant. Any gap and personal liability survives for the balance of the term. Where the case is filed shapes what can be raised. A summary proceeding moves quickly and limits what a tenant may assert; a plenary action is slower and broader. That choice is made at the outset and is difficult to revisit. On construction disputes, follow the money. Under Lien Law Article 3-A, funds received for improvements are trust assets. Diverting them creates personal liability for the individuals who directed the diversion, and can support criminal exposure.

What Is an Asset Purchase Agreement and How Does It Protect Buyers?
An asset purchase lets a buyer acquire selected assets and decline to assume the seller's liabilities. In New York, that is where most buyers stop reading, and where the problems begin. The structure works until it doesn't. New York applies de facto merger broadly, and continuity of ownership is the element that matters most — a seller who takes buyer equity as consideration has moved toward the outcome the structure was chosen to avoid. Separately, the state requires notice to the Department of Taxation and Finance before closing, and a buyer who skips it inherits the seller's unpaid sales tax by operation of law.Neither of those is a drafting problem. They are structural, and they are decided before the agreement is written.
