Chaves Perlowitz Luftig LLP
Chaves Perlowitz Luftig LLP is a New York firm with Manhattan and New Jersey offices whose practice covers commercial and residential real estate, trusts and estates, and lease work. Its site material focuses heavily on real estate closings rather than general corporate formation, and reviewers describe the firm walking clients and business owners through complex New York City property transactions, including co-op, condo, and condo-op purchases. It is the most-reviewed firm on this list by a wide margin.
What people praise
- Most-reviewed firm on this list, with a large volume of five-star closings
- Reviewers praise clear, proactive communication through multi-step transactions
- Team-based approach so no single point of failure during a closing
- Handles the full range of NYC property types, including co-ops and condo-ops
Worth knowing
- Its review history is built almost entirely around real estate closings rather than general business or corporate formation work
- Business owners looking for ongoing corporate counsel, rather than a single transaction, should confirm that scope directly
Our take: The most-reviewed name here and a strong pick if your business need is a commercial property purchase or lease closing. Its own case history shows little evidence of broader corporate work like contract drafting or entity structuring, so ask directly if that is what you need.
