Established Law Firm Represents Companies in the New York Area

If you engage in commerce, sooner or later, you are almost certain to encounter a dispute with a client or contractor that you’ll need outside help to resolve. If your company was wronged by a breach of contract or if claims of unfair practices have been made against your business, contacting an experienced business litigation firm is essential. At Nonaj Law Firm, we represent business owners and corporate boards in the New York area and across New York in trials in New York and federal courts. As strong negotiators, we will seek to settle disputes to save your company both time and expense, but we are always prepared to assert your rights at trial.

Knowledgeable Litigators Handle Breach of Contract Cases

To run a business smoothly and successfully, owners often have to place their trust in the hands of employees, third-party contractors, or other businesses. When that trust is broken, it can affect business operations, profits, consumer confidence, and more. When a party to a contract doesn’t perform, there are remedies our attorneys can seek for monetary damages or equitable relief. These may include:

  • Compensatory damages — Reimbursement for immediate monetary loss
  • Consequential and incidental damages — Compensation for additional foreseeable losses caused by the breach
  • Attorney fees and costs — Amounts available only if the contract expressly states they are recoverable
  • Liquidated damages — Amounts specified in the contract that are payable for particular breaches, such as late or substandard performance
  • Specific performance — Court order requiring the breaching party to fulfill the terms of the contract
  • Punitive damages — Penalty for a party’s objectionable behavior, meant to punish the breaching party and discourage other parties from acting in a similar manner
  • Rescission — Cancellation of the contract, with both sides excused from further performance and payments made under the contract returned
  • Reformation — Change in the terms of the contract when the court believes there was an honest misunderstanding by the parties about what was to be performed

The lawyers at Nonaj Law Firm are committed to helping business owners achieve the best legal remedy for breach of contract cases, whether they are the plaintiffs or defendants.

Skilled Attorneys Negotiate from a Position of Strength

Resolving a business dispute outside of court saves companies both time and money. The professionals at Nonaj Law will seek to have frivolous claims dropped or dismissed and work strategically to negotiate favorable settlements at the bargaining table. We understand the advantages of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including mediation and arbitration. Our skilled negotiators help our clients get their businesses back on track while avoiding the expense of litigation.

Experienced Litigators Press for Your Rights in Court

If litigation becomes necessary, we build strong cases and argue them before a judge. In addition to breach of contract, the possible legal actions that may be brought against a business are wide-ranging and can include complaints from employees, customers, other businesses or the government related to:

  • Insurance
  • Business torts

  • Products liability

  • Professional liability

Business Law FAQs: What New York Companies Need to Know

What does a business law attorney actually do for my company?2026-06-19T00:06:58+00:00

A business law attorney helps your company handle the legal side of everyday operations and disputes — drafting and reviewing contracts, forming or restructuring your business entity, managing partnership and shareholder issues, ensuring regulatory compliance, and representing you in litigation when a dispute can’t be resolved otherwise. At Nonaj Law, we work with business owners and corporate boards across New York in both state and federal courts, combining strong negotiation with trial-ready advocacy.

When should I hire a business lawyer instead of handling things myself?2026-08-12T17:20:09+00:00

It’s smart to involve a lawyer before you sign a significant contract, take on a partner, buy or sell a business, or respond to a legal threat. Many disputes that end up costly in court could have been prevented with a properly drafted agreement upfront. If you’ve already been served, received a demand letter, or suspect a breach of contract, you should speak with an attorney right away to protect your rights and options.

What is a breach of contract, and what can I recover if it happens?2026-08-12T17:22:44+00:00

A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to do what the agreement requires. Depending on the situation, available remedies include compensatory damages for direct losses, consequential damages for foreseeable additional losses, liquidated damages set in the contract, specific performance (a court order to fulfill the contract), rescission (canceling the contract), or reformation (correcting its terms). We help clients pursue or defend these claims whether they’re the plaintiff or the defendant.

Should I try to settle a business dispute or go to court?2026-08-12T17:23:48+00:00

In most cases, resolving a dispute outside of court through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration saves significant time and money. We work to get frivolous claims dismissed and negotiate favorable settlements at the bargaining table whenever possible. That said, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial, so you negotiate from a position of strength and are ready to litigate if a fair settlement isn’t reached.

Do I really need a lawyer to review a contract before I sign it?2026-08-12T17:24:34+00:00

Yes. Signing a contract drafted by the other party without legal review can lock you into unfavorable terms you didn’t notice. A thorough contract review identifies risky clauses, missing protections, and ambiguous language, and proposes changes that better protect your interests. We provide contract drafting, review, and modification services tailored to your specific goals and circumstances.

What types of business disputes does Nonaj Law handle?2026-08-12T17:25:10+00:00

We handle a wide range of commercial disputes, including breach of contract, partnership and shareholder disputes, business torts, products and professional liability, banking and creditor issues, intellectual property infringement, antitrust and unfair competition claims, securities matters, breach of warranty, and construction, environmental, and real estate disputes.

What is a non-compete agreement and is it enforceable?2026-08-12T17:26:44+00:00

A non-compete agreement restricts an employee from competing against your business during or after employment. Enforceability depends on how the agreement is drafted and on current state law, which has been tightening around non-competes. We help businesses create, review, and enforce non-compete and related restrictive covenants so they’re more likely to hold up if challenged.

How much does it cost to hire a business attorney?2026-08-12T17:27:45+00:00

Costs vary based on the complexity of the matter — a single contract review is very different from multi-party litigation. Some matters are handled on a flat fee, others hourly, and many businesses retain ongoing counsel for predictable everyday support. The best way to understand cost is to schedule a consultation so we can scope your specific needs and explain fee options before you commit.

Can you help with the legal side of buying or selling a business?2026-08-12T17:28:20+00:00

Yes. We assist with corporate entity creation and restructuring, due diligence, drafting and negotiating purchase agreements, asset protection, securities and tax considerations, and the closing process for business purchases and sales. Our goal is to structure the transaction so your interests are protected at every stage.

Does Nonaj Law work with businesses outside New York?2026-08-12T17:29:11+00:00

Our core base is the New York area, and we represent business owners and corporate boards across New York in state and federal courts. We also serve individuals and companies around the world on cross-border and commercial matters. The best first step is a consultation to confirm we’re the right fit for your jurisdiction and needs.
