Wolf Haldenstein – Dispute with Manhattan Landlord

Achieved significant award for Herrick client, the highly-respected plaintiff's class action law firm Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP, in a dispute with their Manhattan landlord. The landlord failed to properly renovate Wolf Haldenstein's office space as outlined in their lease agreement, thus leaving the office in an unsuitable condition for people to work in. The court affirmed that the landlord and its affiliates failed to properly renovate office space leased by Wolf Haldenstein and dismissed the landlord's counterclaim for allegedly owed back rent. The court also awarded Wolf Haldenstein attorney fees.

Herrick successfully represented a commercial business in a dispute with their landlord where their landlord sought to evict them by issuing a notice to terminate their “tenancy” by issuing a 90-day termination notice. After the parties were unable to reach a settlement, Herrick filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of the proceeding. The Court ultimately granted our client's motion in its entirety and dismissed the proceeding due to the landlord’s failure to accurately describe their legal relationship.
