Peter A. Mahler

My litigation and counseling practice focuses on "business divorce", i.e., judicial dissolution and related disputes among co-owners of closely held businesses including corporations, LLCs and partnerships. My blog, New York Business Divorce, is a great resource for lawyers and laypersons seeking information about dissolution proceedings, stock valuation, shareholder and LLC agreements, and a host of related topics.
