Lawlor & Rella specializes in commercial real estate litigation and transactions, representing landlords and developers in office, retail, warehouse and restaurant leasing, as well as construction law matters.  We vigorously prosecute actions throughout all stages of commercial landlord-tenant practice, from inception to trial and appeals with an eye to cost-effectiveness.  For commercial landlords, we litigate summary non-payment and holdover proceedings to regain possession of real property as efficiently as possible.

We also prosecute and defend plenary actions to recover unpaid rent and damages for breach of lease, the breach of service contracts and construction agreements, and to recover fraudulent conveyances.  Since the inception of our firm, we have provided expertise to major commercial properties and managing agents in Manhattan and are well-versed in achieving expedient, practical, and cost-effective results. 

Representative matters include: The Fisk Building, Cushman & Wakefield and The Olnick Organization.
