Experienced Commercial Litigators Serving NYC Businesses
Commercial litigation encompasses a wide range of disputes arising from business transactions, competitive practices, and financial relationships. These cases often involve significant sums, complex factual issues, and intricate legal questions. At Travis & DeBlase PLLC, we have the experience and resources to manage these complexities while keeping our clients’ commercial objectives at the forefront of every decision.
Our commercial litigation practice covers fraud and misrepresentation claims, tortious interference with contract and business relations, unfair business practices and deceptive trade acts, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and quantum meruit claims, disputes involving letters of credit and commercial instruments, insurance coverage disputes, and claims arising under the Uniform Commercial Code.
Fraud and Misrepresentation Claims
Fraud in a commercial context can take many forms — from intentional misrepresentation of material facts during a transaction to concealment of critical information that induces a party to act to its detriment. Our New York commercial litigation attorneys have handled fraud claims involving real estate transactions, investment schemes, business acquisitions, and vendor relationships. We understand the heightened pleading standards that apply to fraud claims under New York law and in federal court, and we craft our complaints and defenses accordingly.

Tortious Interference and Unfair Competition
When a competitor or third party intentionally disrupts your business relationships, the damage can be substantial. Tortious interference claims — whether with existing contracts or prospective business relations — require proof of improper means or motive. Our attorneys are experienced in building these cases through discovery and presenting them persuasively at trial. We also handle claims involving unfair business practices, misappropriation of trade secrets, and violations of New York’s General Business Law.
Litigation in New York’s Commercial Division
Many of our commercial litigation matters are heard in the Commercial Division of the New York State Supreme Court, a specialized forum designed to handle complex business disputes efficiently. Our attorneys are well versed in the procedures and expectations of the Commercial Division, including its mandatory mediation requirements, accelerated discovery schedules, and rules governing electronic discovery. We also regularly appear in the United States District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.
A Practical Approach to Complex Disputes
Effective commercial litigation requires more than legal knowledge — it demands an understanding of the business realities that drive disputes and shape settlements. Our attorneys work with clients to evaluate the economic stakes, assess litigation risk, and develop strategies that align legal tactics with business goals. When early resolution serves the client’s interests, we pursue it aggressively. When a case requires trial, we are prepared to present a compelling case before a judge or jury.
