JASON M. FINK
MANAGING PARTNER
Many attorneys claim to provide individualized attention to your business dispute to increase its chance of success and lower its total cost. Jason Fink has developed a distinctive method for doing so over the past twenty years.
Jason has repeatedly demonstrated that he can use his programming background to reliably perform accurate research quite quickly which allows him to map out each dispute at its inception, gathering and analyzing the specific rules and exceptions that apply to its particular facts. He is also able to successfully locate and analyze the important details of each such business dispute from his client-side experience as in-house counsel. Jason synthesizes both of these types of information strategically with an eye towards winning each dispute in the initial stages of litigation, saving his clients' time and money and some of his recent successes include:
● In 2024, obtained judgment of foreclosure and sale on behalf of client and settled the case for full payoff of outstanding amount owed plus legal fees. B King Chick LLC v. Organization for Defense of Four Freedoms for Ukraine, Inc., et al. (Index No.: 850122/2022).
● In 2023, secured dismissal of case which involved breach of contract and fraud claims
against client for its sale of a rent-regulated building pursuant to a contract of sale that contained survival obligations including the furnishing of tenant records and indemnification. BLEV Realty 3 LLC by its assignee Willis Apartments, LLC v. 386 E. 139 St. Realty Corp. et al. (Index No.: 800199/2022E).
● In 2023, settled foreclosure case on behalf of investor client for short sale on very favorable terms. JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association v. Toni Smith, et al. (Index No.: 29073/2011).
● In 2022, awarded dismissal of tortious interference case against a client that was a subsequent employer of an employee who had a non-competition agreement with the prior employer. Susino v. Compass Forwarding Co., Inc. (Index No.: 613765/2019).
● In 2021, awarded dismissal of a case against a client where one of his commercial investors improperly sought an accounting including the disclosure of proprietary information, claiming that the investment vehicle had not been properly managed nor generated the anticipated returns. Hawthorne Funding, LLC v. Karish Kapital, LLC, 192 A.D.3d 779, 139 N.Y.S.3d 855 (2nd Dep't 2021).
Jason has a history of successfully litigating cases that involve a wide variety of commercial real estate and business disputes. His current work includes motion and pleadings practice, trials, depositions, and settlement negotiations for cases in State Supreme Court and Civil Court and appellate practice in the Appellate Division and Appellate Term. He was also previously in-house counsel where he dealt with extensive compliance and transactional issues and has over fifteen years of commercial contract drafting and negotiation experience.
For more than a decade, Jason was a legal editor for LexisNexis for legal treatises including:
● Purchase and Sale of Real Property,
● Florida Foreclosures,
