Brooklyn Business Litigation Attorney
Team Lead
Contact Nick directlyMore than 200,000 businesses call New York their home. However, of those, 89 percent are considered “very small businesses” with less than 20 employees. Many of these businesses are located in Brooklyn, which has come to be one of the most desirable places for businesses owners to set up shop. However, businesses small and large face various legal challenges from time to time. As a business owner, it’s in your best interest to stave off litigation whenever possible, as taking a case to trial necessarily removes your attention from running your business.

Put our highly experienced team on your side
Breach of Contract
A contract is a legally enforceable agreement between two or more parties. In most cases, a written contract is merely a formality, as all parties to the contract understand their responsibilities and carry them out with diligence. However, contractual disputes are quite common, especially when contracts use vague or ambiguous terms. Regardless of whether another party violated your contractual rights or you are alleged to have breached a contract, Oberheiden, P.C. can immediately begin protecting your interests and working with you to develop an effective solution.
Cybersecurity and Data Privacy
Given the technological advances in recent decades, coupled with lawmakers’ focus on corporate accountability, today’s businesses face tremendous obligations when it comes to the security of customers’ personal information. Data breaches, ransomware attacks and other types of hacking can not only expose an organization to liability but can also damage the business’ reputation. At Oberheiden, P.C., we have hands-on experience handling cybersecurity and data privacy claims from all angles, including in the courts and in the press.
Partnership Disputes
Partners go into business with one another because they work together well and envision a mutually beneficial relationship. However, it is common for intense disputes to arise when partners disagree on things such as financial issues, division of control, buyouts, and allegations of illegal conduct. Generally, the partnership agreement dictates the manner in which these disputes are resolved. For example, many partnership agreements contain an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) clause, requiring partners to participate in mediation or arbitration before either party can file a case in court. However, partnership agreements often carve out certain exceptions, such as when one partner breaches a fiduciary duty. At Oberheiden, P.C., our attorneys command an impressive knowledge of partnership law as well as the regulations governing ADR. We can immediately review your partnership agreement to identify your options and effectively advise you on each course of action.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
One of the most important aspects of a partnership is the fiduciary duty partners owe one another. However, depending on the nature of the business you engage in, there may be other fiduciary duties. For example, attorneys owe a fiduciary duty to their clients and board members to the company’s shareholders. While the nuances of the fiduciary duty are complex and vary based on the circumstances, essentially, it requires the person who owes a fiduciary duty to place the interests of the person owed the duty ahead of their own. At Oberheiden, P.C., our Brooklyn business litigation attorneys have extensive experience representing both sides in cases involving alleged breaches of a fiduciary duty.
Non-Compete Clauses
As a business owner, you put a significant amount of time, effort and trust into your employees. As a result of an employee’s position, they may have access to trade secrets. Non-compete clauses protect the interests of employers by preventing employees from leaving the organization after obtaining this knowledge and then using it either for themselves or another company. At Oberheiden, P.C., we aggressively represent employees seeking to enforce non-compete and non-solicitation agreements. Our Brooklyn employer defense lawyers also represent employers in other employment disputes.
Theft, Fraud and Forgery
Few issues facing a business owner are as serious as allegations of fraud, theft or forgery. These cases carry some of the most serious consequences, meaning you can be held personally liable for others’ losses. In some cases, the government may also pursue criminal charges. Some of the more common instances of these cases include bank and check fraud, mail and wire fraud, Medicare fraud, and embezzlement. It is imperative that business owners facing these allegations immediately seek the counsel of an experienced Brooklyn business litigation at Oberheiden, P.C.
