The Lawyer James J. DeCristofaro, Esq., P.C.

Overview

This means I practice commercial litigation, commercial law, business litigation, and business law, and I am headquartered in New York, New York.

I have aggressively represented both plaintiffs and defendants in business disputes for over 15 years to get results for my clients. As a New York business attorney, I have resolved over $100 million in business disputes; also as a New York business attorney, I work on transactional documents, including formation documents like limited liability company operating agreements, articles of incorporation, bylaws, purchase and sale documents (both stock and asset), confidentiality agreements, trade secret agreements, work for hire agreements, employment agreements, consulting agreements — just about every business or commercial agreement there is.

I have represented clients in cases in many states in the United States in federal court, state court, arbitration, mediation, before federal court judges, federal court magistrates, state court judges, referees, arbitrators, and mediators.

I have also represented clients and consulted with clients in international disputes.

I have represented clients in many industry sectors, including telecommunications, technology, sub-prime lending, social media, apparel, fashion, cosmetics, entertainment, sports, agriculture, real estate, medical, airline, construction, import export, non-profit, food and beverage, manufacturing and distribution, restaurant, transportation, diamond, security, household goods, large scale manufacturing (e.g., helicopter retrofitters and oil pipeline support rigs), retail, and financial.

Because I am an experienced New York business attorney, I intimately know how to navigate through the dispute resolution processes to most efficiently and effectively achieve the best results possible for you under your particular set of circumstances.

I can help you free up your time so that you can focus on running and growing your business, and spending time with your family.

I can help you get answers from recalcitrant business partners, vendors, and other adversaries so that you can have all of the information you need to run your business and make an informed decision to resolve your business dispute.

I can help you use the best procedures, mechanisms, and tools available for resolving your particular business dispute efficiently and effectively.

I can work with you on understanding and working through my processes and guides to maximizing your position and leverage in your business dispute.

I can fiercely and aggressively represent you in mediation, arbitration, litigation, in court, out of court, in settlement discussions, in negotiations, in drafting agreements to minimize your risk of getting into a business dispute, and maximizing your position and leverage if you do get into a business dispute.

To resolve a business dispute, it is best for all involved when one experienced New York business attorney consensually works out the dispute with another experienced New York business attorney, because both are more likely to speak the same language, both in terms of substantive and procedural New York law, which invariably has a profound effect on how a dispute plays out.
