Partner

Since Farrell Fritz opened its doors on Long Island in 1976, we have been proud to make an enduring contribution to businesses and individuals in the communities we serve. At Farrell Fritz, clients find a true partner: one who has their collective best interests at heart . . . and the power, resources and expertise to drive success.

The break-up of a business partnership can be a traumatic affair with severe financial and personal consequences for the company owners and employees. For over 30 years, I've been helping business owners resolve through negotiation, mediation and litigation the complex problems that arise when disputing business co-owners need a "divorce." I also publish a blog launched in 2007 called New York Business Divorce which is a great resource for lawyers and business owners seeking information about dissolution proceedings, stock valuation, shareholder and LLC agreements, and a host of related topics. In 2016, I also launched the Business Divorce Roundtable podcast featuring in-depth interviews of experts from the legal, academic, and business appraisal fields. My twitter feed (@PeterMahlerEsq) features daily alerts of new court decisions of interest to professionals and business owners. In addition to my advocacy work I serve as a court-appointed mediator and I am on the roster of neutrals for Supreme Court, Commercial Division in New York, Nassau and Suffolk Counties. I was recently honored to be selected to write the Practice Commentaries for the LLC Law and Revised Limited Partnership Act in McKinney’s Consolidated Laws of New York. Specialties: Complex business litigation with a focus on disputes among co-owners of closely held firms.
