I could not have better things to say about Ms. Singh. My apartment was broken into a few months ago by a relative of one of my neighbors. A number of valuable items were stolen. I was terribly shaken up and felt truly violated by this experience.
I sought legal counsel against my landlord and asked Ms. Singh to provide help in getting me out of my lease. I did not want to stay in an apartment that was unsafe or in a building that had already experienced its share of problems. Ms. Singh worked with me to really figure out what I wanted to achieve and explained the process to me very clearly so that I would be able to understand how to move forward.
Ms. Singh was very systematic in her approach to examining the law and making sure I had a leg to stand on against my landlord. She drafted a number of strongly worded letters to my landlord which she let me review each step of the way to make sure she had all the facts accurate and was representing the situation correctly. Her language to the landlord was extremely professional but very convincing at the same time. The pressure she put on my landlord was not so aggressive to be rude, but powerful enough to send the right message.
In the end, I was able to get out of my lease, all thanks to Ms. Singh. All in all, I was very pleased with her legal approach. She was extremely professional, considerate, and knowledgeable. So much of the law industry is not only about representing your clients for their own good, but also about counseling them and making them feel as reassured and comfortable as possible during a very stressful time in one's life. I could not have been more grateful to Ms. Singh, and I know she will continue her level of standards with each of her future clients and cases.

Basil is a great down to Earth professional which is highly uncommon in this world we live in today. He has a stress free personality to him and puts you at ease throughout his services by explaining to you "law for idiots". He makes it easy to understand. Because he is so committed to his work, he doesn't need to hound you for specifics every day as he knows your busy on your end. Just when you wonder what he's doing, he calls you with good news and sometimes direct news that he wont sugarcoat. When time is a factor, Basil works best and "pulls off the impossible". He earns his paycheck and closes as great as the best closers here in NY. I highly recommend Basil and appreciate his hard work. He is law enforcement friendly and is understanding of tight schedules. I will be using Basil for my future legal endeavors. Thank You Basil !

Yenisey Rodriquez-McCloskey has been my business attorney for several years handling a wide range of legal issues for my company ranging from contracts, employee issues, and insurance issues. Regardless of how small or large, all are handled with the same level of involvement and expertise. She is extremely responsive to emails and voicemails, even during the weekend, understanding that often "time is of the essence". She has made the handling of stressful events easier and works with the client in a true partnership explaining options in clear language, not legal jargon. If you are looking for an attorney with no drama who is ethical, professional and most of all competent, I highly recommend her.

Shana has been extremely helpful with many projects of mine. I work in film in NYC and found Shana about one year ago, she has helped me both reviewing operating agreement, subscription agreement and consultant agreement of Film Investment deals and helped me draft a producer's contract. When we work on these deals, Shana always operates with the highest level of integrity, skill, and compassion. She is quick to return my emails and phone calls, and she is just a genuinely friendly person to work with and have my very best interests in mind. If you're looking for an entertainment attorney, I wholeheartedly couldn't give a higher recommendation.

For over twenty years I have depended on Dan Ross for my personal and professional legal services. He has helped me structure a real estate cotenancy arrangement, draft leases, write consulting agreements, review non competition and employment contracts, prepare workout agreements and promissory notes and pretty much deal with whatever legal issues came up. One of Dan's greatest strengths is his ability to analyze a problem and create a legal strategy that is both cost effective and achieves the desired goal. He returns telephone calls and emails. He explains legal options in understandable language, prepares documents in a timely manner and assumes complete responsibility for filings and other aspects of the legal process. Patient, detail oriented, a great listener and communicator, Dan is a pleasure to work with. An accomplished professional in every sense of the word.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.
Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.
When Should I Hire a Business Lawyer?
Hiring a business lawyer is essential at various stages of business development, including:
- Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
- Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.
- Mergers, acquisitions, or dissolutions: If you are buying, selling, or dissolving a company, legal counsel is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
- Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
- Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.
What Does a Business Lawyer Do?
Business lawyers provide a wide range of services that cater to different legal needs of a business. They can:
- Help you choose the best legal structure for your business.
- Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with employees, suppliers, customers, or business partners.
- Ensure regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
- Advise on tax strategies to minimize your business's tax burden.
- Assist with intellectual property protection, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights.
- Handle mergers, acquisitions, and business sales, ensuring all legal paperwork is in order.
- Resolve disputes through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.
How Are Business Lawyers Paid?
Business lawyers typically charge either by the hour or on a flat-fee basis, depending on the complexity of the work. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rates: The lawyer charges based on the time spent working on your case. Rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fees: For certain tasks, such as incorporating a business or drafting a standard contract, a lawyer may offer a flat fee.
- Retainer: Some businesses may hire a lawyer on retainer, paying a fixed amount each month to have ongoing access to legal services.
The payment structure is often discussed during an initial consultation so you can choose the one that best suits your business needs and budget.
How Much Does a Business Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a business lawyer depends on factors such as:
- The complexity of the legal issue: More complex matters, like mergers or intellectual property disputes, typically cost more than routine tasks like contract drafting.
- The lawyer's experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in larger cities often charge higher fees.
- The nature of the billing arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $150 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer's expertise. Flat fees are usually available for simpler matters like forming an LLC or drafting a standard contract.
It's essential to discuss fee structures upfront to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with businesses like mine?
Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry. -
What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -
What are your fees, and how do you bill?
Get clarity on how you'll be charged - whether by the hour, flat fee, or retainer. -
How do you handle conflicts of interest?
Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business. -
Can you provide references from other business clients?
Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism. -
Do you have experience in my specific industry?
Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.
How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is in good standing and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
- A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
- Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.
By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
