Business litigation counsel for New York & New Jersey companies
Commercial disputes are decided on documents, numbers, and sequencing. We work comfortably with all three.
What we handle
- Shareholder, LLC member, and partnership disputes
- Commercial and contract-based business disputes
- Business torts, including interference and unfair competition
- Technology disputes and matters involving complex systems
- Disputes involving detailed financial records and damages
Who we represent
We represent closely held companies, professionals, and individuals with significant business interests — including disputes where cost pressure and litigation resources are part of the strategy. Careful preparation can narrow that gap.
We also represent overseas businesses in their U.S.-related disputes. For a company operating from abroad, an American lawsuit or contract conflict arrives in an unfamiliar procedural system on an unfamiliar clock; we serve as their litigation counsel in New York and New Jersey, in state and federal court, keep the matter organized and moving, and report in plain terms so decision-makers abroad can act on it.
Shareholder, partnership, and LLC member disputes
Falling-outs among owners are document cases: shareholder and operating agreements, capital accounts, distributions, minutes, and the email record of how the business was actually run. We represent majority and minority owners in deadlock, buyout, fiduciary-duty, oppression, and accounting disputes — working from the governing documents and the financial records to value interests, frame claims and defenses, and position the dispute for a negotiated exit or, when necessary, litigation. Because these conflicts often involve people who still have to work together, or businesses that must keep operating while the dispute runs, sequencing and discretion matter as much as the legal theory.
A technical and analytical background
Before practicing law, Alexander Razdolski worked in complex technology and financial-services environments, including systems architecture and market-surveillance work. That background matters in cases that turn on financial records, data, and technical facts: we read the materials ourselves, understand them quickly, and use them to frame claims and defenses precisely.
Resolution with leverage in mind
Litigation is a tool, not a reflex. We prepare every business dispute so that negotiation happens from strength — organized records, quantified damages, and a credible path to judgment in state or federal court if talks fail. We also keep our clients' disputes out of public view wherever strategy and the rules allow; discretion is part of the service. Where the dispute centers on an agreement, see also contract disputes.
