Fashion Designer – Flagship Manhattan Store Leasing Dispute

Represented, as co-counsel, one of the world’s largest luxury fashion designers, as plaintiff, in litigation with the landlord of its flagship Manhattan retail location. Victories on behalf of the client included a ruling enjoining the landlord from terminating our client’s lease, an order for our client to continue paying the current rent under the lease rather than a much higher amount requested by the landlord, and a decision rejecting the landlord's motion for our client to post an $83 million bond related to plans to demolish and redevelop the site. The dispute was resolved in a settlement, pursuant to which the client obtained a new, long-term lease.
