Practice Area Overview

New York Commercial Litigation Lawyer, Real Estate Attorney, and Contract Negotiator

At the Law Office of Steven Riker in New York City, we have received recognition and media coverage for the successful handling of publicized cases and significant transactions. However, we provide comprehensive representation in all matters that we undertake, whether they involve the zealous advocacy required in a litigated dispute or the skilled drafting and negotiation needed for a highly valued transaction. The Firm has extensive experience in its chosen practice areas, and brings great zeal and expertise to every case it undertakes, no matter the size or the client. The Firm has litigated cases before various Federal, State, and City courts, and at the appellate levels of each court. The Firm has also handled commercial and residential real estate closings and lease transactions with values ranging from a few hundred thousand dollars to tens of millions of dollars.

Specific practice areas include:

Commercial and Business Litigation

The Firm has successfully handled all phases of commercial and business disputes, from drafting sophisticated complaints, to conducting and defending depositions, to participating in trials and appeals, in both court actions and arbitration proceedings. Clients of the firm can also rely upon Mr. Riker to provide prompt legal services in times of an emergency, including obtaining temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and orders of attachment. The Firm has experience filing such actions at the City, County, State, Federal, and appellate levels. And for clients who prevail at trial, or following an appeal, the Firm can perform prompt computerized searches of legal and web-related databases to identify the assets, equity, and debt that an opposing party maintains, thereby ensuring the collectability of any judgment obtained.

Real Estate Transactions and Litigation

Mr. Riker prides himself on successfully assisting developers and prospective home buyers in purchasing, leasing, and financing both residential and commercial properties throughout the New York Metro area. By reviewing and drafting documents, Mr. Riker has helped many clients achieve their goals as landowners, homeowners, and landlords. The work doesn’t always end there, however. At times, litigation is needed to resolve contract or lease disputes, and Mr. Riker can provide you with aggressive representation to resolve those issues.

Contract Development and Negotiation

The preparation of business agreements demands knowledge of the law, experience, and attention to detail. Mr. Riker has created formation and governance documents for corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies (LLCs). In addition, he has also drafted agreements for acquisitions, mergers, and sales, as well as various licensing arrangements. Once a business is up and running, Mr. Riker can also serve as an ongoing legal advisor, on an "as-needed" basis, for contract review, negotiations, or even litigation.
