We serve as long-term general counsel to more than 500 condominium and cooperatives boards, running the day-to-day affairs of properties ranging from historic buildings on the Upper East Side to new development condominiums in Brooklyn and Queens. The firm also has extensive experience representing cooperatives that are subject to government oversight such as HDFCs.

Since our experience in building governance and New York real estate law is unparalleled, individual unit owners and shareholders routinely retain Braverman Greenspun to address matters with the boards of their buildings.

• Sponsor-related disputes and construction defect claims
• Alteration agreements and disputes involving renovations and building access
• Collection matters, lien foreclosures, and proprietary lease terminations
• Risk management, insurance disputes, and director and officer liability issues
• Financing and refinancing matters, including secured and unsecured building loans
• Ground lease negotiations and extensions
• Employment and discrimination issues affecting residential buildings
• Ownership of units by trusts and LLCs
• Governing document updates and refinement
• Navigation of cost-allocation issues and multi-regime condominiums and cooperatives
