Strategic Legal Support to Resolve Complex Disputes

From Nassau to Suffolk, Long Island businesses often face challenges that lead to legal disputes. These cases—ranging from breach of contract to ownership disagreements—fall within the realm of commercial litigation, which relies on courts or arbitration for resolution.

Plaintiffs may seek to enforce terms or recoup damages, while defendants must push back against claims that threaten their business or reputation. No two disputes look the same, and off-the-shelf solutions don’t work.

We tailor our approach to each client’s priorities, whether that means fighting in court or negotiating a resolution. Our focus is on outcomes that strengthen your business and move you forward.

I am a property manager and have used Schneider Buchel for many years. They are extremely experienced in coop/condo law. Pete Weintraub recently advised a Coop Board on adopting a fine policy.
