About the Firm:
The firm was founded in 1977. In 2009, Andrew
Lieb acquired control of the firm and transformed its legal services from a
general practice to a commercial litigation and transaction boutique focusing
on real estate and legal compliance for regulated industries.
The firm’s litigation practice is driven by
leveraging informational imbalances to win cases. This is a substance first law
firm where data drives decision making and strategy.
To achieve the firm’s information focused
litigation culture, staff have access to cloud-based legal research platform so
the latest cases are available to our legal team everywhere, including within
the courtroom. Next, a secure, cloud-based case management system catalogs
every thought and action on each client’s matter. As a result, case facts are
readily accessible through the stroke of a computer key, instead of being
locked away in one attorney’s memory or private paper notes in some desk draw.
Finally, enterprise file sharing, storage and collaboration software is
utilized to enable the efficient collaboration between attorneys where case
strategy and document preparation benefits from fresh and innovative group
think.
Lieb at Law’s latest research and
collaboration tools extend to the firm’s transactional team, which ensures that
contractual language is driven by our real life experiential learning from our
contractual litigating practice.
Lastly, we publish and teach the law that we
practice in order to always stay on the cutting edge. Lieb at Law’s work
product is a derivative of embracing education and technology to provide a
modern law firm that is at the vanguard of representation.
About the Transaction Practice:
Lieb at Law
ensures that contractual language is driven by the real life experience of our
litigation practice. As a result, we advise and negotiate by performing a
cost-benefit analysis for each provision that goes into our client’s contracts.
Knowing the cost of litigation and likelihood of success on the merits for each
term, through first-hand experience, enables us to succinctly know when to push
and when to give in to achieve favorable agreements. Simply stated, we are a
substance-based law firm, not a "because that’s how it's done" shop.
We are on the
cutting edge of the law and frequently give lectures and continuing education
to attorneys and real estate professionals throughout New York State. Our attorneys
have drafted and published a complete set of transactional forms for the
largest brokerage companies in the state, including policy manuals and the
like. The firm’s Managing Attorney oversees the transactional practice and is
