Commercial Real Estate Firm – Motion to Dismiss Granted in Contract Dispute

Herrick successfully represented a nationally prominent commercial real estate firm in a motion to dismiss an amended complaint filed by a potential purchaser of a significant commercial condominium unit in Manhattan. After signing the purchase contract, the purchaser challenged certain aspects of the transaction. The New York County Commercial Division granted the seller’s motion to dismiss the purchaser’s amended complaint in its entirety and canceled the notice of pendency which was preventing our client from refinancing or selling the property.

Major Insurer – Landmark Social Media Coverage Litigation

Herrick serves as counsel to a major insurer in a series of high-profile, closely watched insurance coverage disputes arising from nationwide litigation against major social media platforms, including Google, Snapchat and Instagram/Meta. The underlying actions involve claims that the platforms designed and operated products that addict minors, resulting in significant liability exposure. These matters raise complex issues of policy interpretation. This is a rapidly evolving and nationally significant area of insurance litigation.

Real Estate Developer – Summary Judgment Granted in Lease Dispute

Represented a real estate developer in a New York Commercial Division dispute arising from a proposed 99-year ground lease of a New York City-based church property. The matter involved the application of New York Religious Corporations Law § 12 and whether a proposed deed-in-lieu transaction could be used to avoid required court approval of the lease. The court granted our client's motion for summary judgment, holding that the alternative transaction structure was unlawful and resolving the dispute in our client's favor.
