Lender Litigation

Our firm’s business and commercial litigation experience extends to foreclosing on mortgages on commercial properties, as well as enforcing promissory notes for money lent.  We have also successfully used the Motion to Show Cause process in mortgage foreclosures in order to abbreviate and expedite foreclosure cases.  We can assist your business with the foreclosure process, from initial default notices through a judgment of foreclosure and judicial sale, to obtaining a deficiency judgment against a borrower.

Arbitration

In addition to litigating commercial and business disputes in the courtroom, our litigation team can handle matters to be decided via arbitration.  Arbitration is an alternative form of dispute resolution, where one or more neutral arbitrators serve as the decisionmaker, in place of the judge.  Often, clients will find themselves in arbitration because a contract they signed contains a provision stating that all disputes relating to the contract are to be decided in arbitration.  These types of arbitration provisions are common in the business world.  Our firm is adept and experienced in the arbitration process, from initiating arbitration, selecting arbitrators, filing motions and conducting discovery within the arbitration framework, to the final arbitration hearing.  Our team has arbitrated complex commercial disputes before the American Arbitration Association and participated in non-binding arbitration as ordered by the court.

Moreover, our firm has experience litigating post-arbitration disputes before the court, such as motions to undo the arbitration award, motions to modify the arbitration award, and confirmation of arbitration awards.
