What I Do

Over 50 years ago, my father, Ed Braverman, founded this firm, recognizing that New York City co-ops and condominiums require an attorney well-versed in the many legal issues faced by boards. I am proud to continue his legacy at Braverman Greenspun.

Since joining the firm in 1993 and overseeing its exponential growth, Scott Greenspun and I have maintained the basic principles on which the firm was founded—hardworking, innovative, and compassionate counsel who provide the firm’s clients with an unparalleled level of service and commitment.

Having advised boards for over a quarter of a century, there is unlikely to be an issue that I have not encountered. In fact, I view my in-depth knowledge of co-op and condominium law as just one of the things I bring to the table. Equally important is my understanding of how best to practically approach the legal issues faced by co-ops and condominiums. I understand that while the legal issues are important, so too are the practical “real life” ramifications of a board’s decisions. It is for this reason that the advice I give to the firm’s clients not only takes into account legal rights and obligations, but also the fact that people’s homes, communities, and personal relationships are likely to be impacted by the guidance I provide. There is nothing more rewarding to me on a professional level than working with a client to attain a successful, cost-effective outcome to a legal issue, no matter how big or small.
