Woods Lonergan

Woods Lonergan PLLC is a New York City–based litigation boutique specializing in high-stakes commercial and real estate disputes for business owners, mid-sized companies, corporate officers, boards, and family offices.

As a veteran-led firm of the New York Commercial Division, we are purpose-built to navigate 7- and 8-figure middle market disputes ranging from $1 million to $100 million, where the outcome is dispositive to the enterprise or asset.

Core strengths include commercial litigation, business divorce, partnership and shareholder disputes, breach of fiduciary duty, commercial fraud, and complex employment litigation. Our real estate practice manages high-value development conflicts, joint venture disputes, portfolio restructuring, complex commercial lease enforcement, and catastrophic property damage claims.

Our practice is calibrated for complex breach of contract and business torts, including service vendor, manufacturing, retail, and supply chain litigation against market giants. Differentiated by a resolution-oriented approach, we provide a sophisticated, trial-ready, and no-conflict alternative to high-leverage institutional firms.

We represent business owners, mid-sized companies, and family offices in high-stakes commercial disputes across the following sectors:

• Real Estate, Construction & Hospitality
• Service Vendors, Retail & Manufacturing
• Tech, FinTech & E-Commerce
• Private Capital, Closely-Held & Family Business Portfolios

Woods Lonergan uses a partner-driven, lean staffing model to accelerate favorable outcomes in high-stakes matchups against Am Law 100 firms. We selectively offer hybrid contingency fee structures in high-value commercial, corporate and real estate matters, aligning our economic interests with middle-market clients seeking sophisticated, results-driven representation.
