Business disputes don’t improve with age. Evidence goes stale, positions harden, and leverage drifts toward whichever side documented first and moved first. Our New York office represents businesses and business owners in Manhattan and throughout the city in disputes where the outcome is measured in the survival of a company, a partnership, or a professional reputation. Jimenez Mazzitelli Mordes is a trial firm. That distinction matters in commercial litigation for a simple reason: settlement offers are predictions of what would happen at trial, discounted by whether opposing counsel believes your lawyer will ever get there. Firms that fold get folded on. Office: 1123 Broadway, Suite 517, New York, NY 10010 · (305) 548-8750

Disputes We Handle

  • Partnership and shareholder disputes — deadlocks, freeze-outs, fiduciary-duty claims, and business divorces where the company itself is the contested asset.
  • Breach of contract — enforcement and defense, from supply agreements to service contracts to settlement agreements that one side stopped honoring.
  • Business fraud and misrepresentation — when a deal was built on numbers or promises that turn out not to exist.
  • Insurance litigation — coverage disputes and bad-faith claims where the carrier’s answer to a legitimate claim is delay.

How We Approach Commercial Cases

Every case starts with the same two questions: what does winning actually look like for your business, and what is the cheapest reliable path there? Sometimes that’s an aggressive motion posture that forces early resolution. Sometimes it’s trial. What it never is: open-ended litigation for its own sake. You get a strategy, a budget conversation up front, and a lawyer who returns calls.

One Firm, Three Markets

Clients with operations in New York and Florida use the same firm — and the same institutional knowledge of their business — in both jurisdictions. Our Miami headquarters handles Florida litigation; the New York office covers matters in Manhattan and the greater city.

FAQs

Do you represent plaintiffs or defendants? Both. Roughly half our commercial work is defense. What size disputes do you take? Matters where the amount at stake justifies real litigation. In a free initial assessment we’ll tell you plainly whether the economics of your dispute support hiring us — or whether a demand letter and a settlement posture serve you better. Do you handle arbitration? Yes — many commercial contracts require it, and the preparation discipline is the same as trial. Free case assessment — call (305) 548-8750.
