Understanding New York Business Law

Business owners in New York must reckon with a wide array of laws and regulations. Everything from business formation to day-to-day operations to sales and business succession is governed by rules that must be followed or put your company at risk of fines and other penalties. Examples include:

• Antitrust laws
• Deceptive trade practices laws
• Usury laws capping interest rates
• Statute of limitations laws setting time limits on initiating civil litigation

Staying compliant with the law and obtaining the proper licenses is essential. So is keeping up as the law changes. For example, a 2017 change in New York City affects relationships between businesses and contract workers. We work to ensure you always know where you stand and can conduct business on your terms.
