Developer – Dispute over Down Payment Favorably Resolved

Represented a real estate developer in litigation with the seller of a Midtown Manhattan property over the return of the client’s multimillion dollar down payment on the property after the seller materially breached a contract of sale between the parties by failing to cure violations at the property as required, refusing to allow our client access to the property in violation of the agreement, and improperly noticing a “time of the essence” closing.  The dispute was resolved favorably under a settlement that recovered significant damages for the client.
