Escrow Agreement Rights, Release Conditions, and Risk Management
Escrow agreement provisions define how funds, documents, or assets are held, released, and protected, helping parties reduce transaction risk under applicable New York legal principles. An escrow agreement creates a legally enforceable arrangement in which a neutral third party safeguards assets until specified conditions are satisfied. Whether used in real estate transactions, business acquisitions, or commercial deals, an escrow agreement should clearly define release triggers, dispute resolution procedures, and the escrow agent's duties. Understanding how an escrow agreement allocates risk, protects deposited assets, and addresses potential conflicts helps parties complete high-value transactions with greater certainty and legal protection.

What to Include in a Professional Services Agreement in New York
A professional services agreement in New York requires 3 core provisions: scope of work, payment terms, and IP protections. Know what to include before you sign. When clients ask me what to put in a professional services agreement, I always tell them the same thing: get the basics right first, and the rest becomes much easier to manage. A professional services agreement is a binding contract that defines exactly what services will be provided, how and when payment will be made, and who owns the work product created during the engagement. In New York, a poorly drafted professional services agreement can expose both parties to costly disputes over scope, compensation, or intellectual property, issues I have seen derail otherwise straightforward engagements.

Business Acquisition Lawyer: Buyer and Seller Rights in New York
Buy-Side and Sell-Side in a New York DealWe represent one side. That is the point of hiring us. What the buyer is actually buying is the survival period. Representations that expire at closing are decoration. The negotiation that matters is how long they live, whether the basket is a deductible or tips from the first dollar, where the cap sits, and what carve-outs escape it. Under New York law, a contractual survival period displaces the statute of limitations — so a buyer who assumes six years because that is the contract limitations period has misread the agreement. New York's default favors the buyer on knowledge. A buyer who learns of a breach before closing may still bring the claim afterward unless the agreement says otherwise. Sellers who want the opposite result have to write it in; silence does not get them there. Seller financing is a security question, not a payment question. Whether the note is subordinated to a senior lender, whether the buyer's principals guarantee it personally, whether a UCC-1 is filed and perfected, and what happens on default — those terms decide whether the seller is a creditor or a spectator. And before closing, the buyer files the bulk sale notice. Skipping it transfers the seller's unpaid sales tax liability to the buyer by operation of law.
