Our office represents clients with a unique approach thinking inside and outside the box. Each client has benefited from our combined experience in business and law. Your success is my success.
Over the years, I have been able to provide clients with a business - man's approach to complex legal issues, rather than simply a restatement of the law. We represent real estate firms and small property owners in their management, use and operation of residential housing and commercial properties. Our real estate practice includes complex landlord-tenant litigation, representing landlords and property owners in housing court, before the DHCR and HPD; and also has extensive experience with cooperative apartments and condominiums. Since much of landlord-tenant law relies heavily on underlying leases, we assist both landlords and tenants in the drafting and negotiation of their commercial leases, protecting rights in the subject properties, long term profitability in the client's investment and ensuring enforcement measures are set.
Whether you are first time buyer or an experienced investor, Our office will guide you through every stage in your purchase or sale of commercial and residential real estate in New York. Each individual terms of a contract is reviewed, considered for negotiation and thoroughly explained to each client. We have built a reputation for obtaining favorable adjustments to save his clients costs every stage of the purchase and sale process through closing.
My office has also successfully represented hundreds of entrepreneurs, investors and other business professionals in their commercial transactions. My vast business experience provides his business clients an edge in each of their transactions. Our office serves as outside counsel to many companies within and outside of New York State, including Canada and Israel for all legal needs of their New York operations.

Highly recommend
Elan was referred to me through a friend. He helped me with selling my condo and purchasing my first house. He answered ALL my questions and made everything run as smooth as possible. Stress free during closing! He worked well with my agent and in a timely manner to help me secure my house.

Great lawyer
Elan was great with the entire closing process of the selling of our home. It was a delight to work with him and his team. At the actual closing, he took his time and walked us through the entire process, page by page, explaining everything through the discussion. He never made us feel like we are in...

Excellent housing lawyer
He was able to help remove a troublesome ex-roommate from our house that was subletting from me. The room mate refused to leave after a number of issues, such as drug use and non payment of rent. We had to go to court and we were able to get a deal to our benefit.

feedback on Mr. Layliev
Mr. Layliev was very helpful and explained everything to me in terms which I could understand. He was patient and did not rush through. There was one time when I contacted him and he did not return my call after I purchased the coop. That was disappointing.
"Mr. Layliev is one of the most hard working attorneys I know. He is the first one in the office and last one to leave. I have worked on a few cases with Mr. Layliev and he has handled them professionally and in a timely manner."
"Elan Layliev is an outstanding attorney. I have had the pleasure to work with Elan on a number of cases together and made numerous referrals to his firm. Those clients have been more than satisfied with Elan's work product as well as his knowledge of the subject matter. Elan is sharp, diligent, and professional. I wholeheartedly endorse Elan."
