Real Estate Investor – Successful Prosecution of Breach of Contract of Sale Agreement

Achieved a significant victory on behalf of a major New York City real estate investor in a breach of contract dispute with the would-be-buyer of five of our client's multiple-dwelling residential properties, who breached a contract of sale between the parties by failing to fully pay the agreed upon down payment as required in the agreement. The court granted our motion for partial summary judgment, striking the defendant's affirmative defenses, denying the defendant's cross motion for leave to amend its answer to interpose counterclaims, and ordering the defendant to pay $850,000 in damages, plus interest, to our client.
