Business Litigation Services
Contract Litigation / Arbitration: Contract disputes generally arise from one of two situations: (1) a party to the contract is unsatisfied with the other party’s agreed-to performance, or (2) a party to the contract no longer feels that the rewards of performing satisfy the costs of doing so. In either case, both parties require competent legal counsel to quickly and efficiently negotiate a settlement, or to zealously advocate the client’s position for a satisfactory judgment.
Securities / Commercial Litigation: Most businesses secure operating capital in the form of “security” investments such as loans, promissory notes, equity investments, or a combination of the above. Such complicated transactions can lead to disputes which require effective counsel to reach a satisfactory judgment. Bukher & Associates has litigated commercial disputes on the state level and on the federal level, including multiparty litigation featuring foreign investors and companies.
Partnership Disputes: Over the course of business, disputes might arise regarding the rights and responsibilities of the partners in that business. Whether a majority shareholder abuses its stronger position to the detriment of the minority, or if one partner fails to abide by its fiduciary duty of fair and honest dealing with the others, Bukher & Associates will provide sharp advocacy to secure a just resolution.
Administrative Hearings: Many types of business transactions require approval from the relevant local and state agencies. Bukher & Associates supports such businesses by petitioning for approval as needed and by appealing adverse decisions or improper penalties.

Business Formation and Licensing: Entity formation is the first step to starting a business. Bukher & Associates provides its clients with the necessary advice regarding the many options for entity formation as well as the accompanying liabilities and tax consequences. We also support businesses such as building contractors, brokers and healthcare providers to secure the necessary local and state licenses for their respective operations.
Business Contracts: Contracts are the cornerstone of business transactions: an effectively written agreement can mean the difference between smooth business relations and turbulent disputes. Common contracts include partnership agreements, business-to-business distribution agreements, sales contracts, employment contracts and restrictive covenants such as non-disclosure and non-compete agreements. Effective counsel will always advise its clients as to their options and the enforcement of such agreements.
Commercial Leasing: Commercial leases are complicated agreements because the parties to such contracts must allocate amongst themselves a variety of rights and responsibilities. For example, parties must decide who bears responsibility for fire insurance, repairs, certificate of occupancy, etc… Business owners require effective negotiators who are aware of these rights and responsibilities and who can secure a speedy and cost-effective allocation between the parties.
