What to ask before contacting a business lawyer
These questions are general decision support, not legal advice or a ranking of the listed profiles.
Is the matter entity formation or an existing-business transaction?
Formation, governance, financing, purchases, sales, and day-to-day commercial work can require different experience, so identify the current stage and objective.
What contract drafting or review is included?
Confirm which agreements and revisions are in scope, who negotiates them, and whether implementation or follow-up advice is included.
Does the lawyer handle owner, member, or shareholder disputes?
Internal governance disputes differ from ordinary commercial transactions, so ask about experience with the particular entity and conflict type.
Is the lawyer's practice transactional, litigation-focused, or both?
A lawyer who drafts agreements may not handle a lawsuit, and a commercial litigator may not provide ongoing transactional counsel; confirm the expected role.
Could the matter require separate regulatory or tax counsel?
Industry regulation and tax treatment may call for specialist advice outside a general business-law engagement, so ask how that work would be coordinated.

How long do I have to sue over a breach of contract in New York?
New York generally gives six years to bring a breach-of-contract claim, running from the date of the breach. Some contract types and clauses can shorten this period, so the exact deadline depends on the agreement and facts involved.

Which New York court handles complex business disputes?
Large or complex business disputes may qualify for a Commercial Division of Supreme Court, but the monetary threshold varies by county. Rule 202.70 lists $500,000 for New York County, $150,000 for Kings County, $100,000 for Queens County, and $75,000 for Bronx County; specified case types do not need to meet a threshold.

Does a New York LLC have to publish a notice in the newspaper?
Yes. New York requires a newly formed LLC to publish notice of its formation in two newspapers for six consecutive weeks within 120 days of formation, then file proof of that publication with the Department of State. Failing to do so suspends the LLC's authority to do business in New York.
