I represent condominium and cooperative boards in litigation involving shareholder disputes, leasing and contract disputes, and governance disputes. I also provide general counsel services to our condominium and cooperative clients.

My practice is focused on helping boards enforce governing documents, manage disputes, and address the legal issues that arise in the course of the management and governance of condominium and cooperative buildings in New York City.

Before joining Braverman Greenspun in 2018, I represented property owners, landlords, and developers in a wide range of real estate litigation, commercial litigation, and transactional matters. I have successfully represented clients in litigation in nearly all of New York’s federal, state, city, and administrative courts, at the trial and appellate levels, and in federal courts across the country. I have also served as rent regulatory due diligence counsel to help guide clients through various acquisition and redevelopment projects to create new housing in emergent residential neighborhoods along the Brooklyn waterfront and throughout lower Manhattan.

That background gives me a broad understanding of the legal and practical issues that arise in the ownership, management, and operation of residential property in New York City. Drawing on that experience, I bring a practical, solution-driven approach to dispute resolution. I work to resolve matters efficiently and avoid unnecessary litigation. Where litigation cannot be avoided, I focus on protecting the board’s interests and advancing the client’s objectives effectively.
