Mandelbaum Barrett PC again provided a “one-two punch” offering its New York City dental practice client informed and experienced transactional counsel and, when the parties could not agree, bringing on its New York litigators to secure an unmitigated victory for our client.
Firm partner, Casey Gocel, spent over a year negotiating a shared space agreement with another dental practice for premises located on Fifth Avenue with views of Central Park. The parties initially purchased the space with the intention of joining practices, but it became clear that they could not come to terms. Gocel proceeded to negotiate in good faith seeking to ensure each practice’s viability by having dedicated operatories and shared laboratory, sterilization, reception, and administrative spaces, as well as sharing certain medical equipment.
As the other side encroached upon all of the space and refused equitable terms, Gocel realized litigation was inevitable. She contacted Joshua Bauchner and Jed Weiss in the Firm’s New York office in the nick of time – the next day the other side filed an emergency application for temporary restraints seeking to shut our client out.
Bauchner and Weiss opposed the application securing the necessary space for their client to operate its practice. “They were incredible,” commented the Firm’s client, Dr. Alex Volchonok. “I’ve worked with Casey for years and was trepidatious about litigation. Josh and Jed immediately stepped into the breach, kept me well informed – even over the Thanksgiving holiday – and ensured my practice would continue without interference or interruption. I could not be happier with the Firm’s representation and ability to quickly transition from negotiation to litigation mode to protect my rights.”
