  I represent and advise hundreds of cooperatives and condominiums on all areas of board governance, construction and contract issues, alterations, license agreements, quality of life issues, fiduciary obligations of board members, drafting governing documents (proprietary leases, bylaws, house rules and offering plans) and enforcing such documents. I also routinely lecture and write on topics which impact boards and apartment owners alike. In addition, I have developed innovative approaches to deriving income from common area spaces and resolved disputes regarding construction defects and defaults by sponsors and other unit owners. I have negotiated with architects, engineers, contractors and vendors providing goods and services to co-op and condo associations. I have also reviewed trusts and advised co-op boards whether to permit the trusts to own co-op shares. I have also represented sellers, purchasers, borrowers and financial institutions in various real estate and loan transactions, and both landlords and tenants in commercial and residential leasing transactions.
