Firm Information

Overview

Located in Newton, Massachusetts, Tanowitz Law Office, P.C., offers comprehensive legal support to companies and individuals across a wide spectrum of practice areas, including business counseling and advice, civil litigation, real estate transactions, landlord-tenant disputes, construction conflicts and condominium law. Our mission is to deliver tailored, practical solutions that safeguard our clients’ interests and promote enduring success.

We guide entrepreneurs and established businesses through every stage of development, from entity formation and corporate governance to drafting employment agreements and reviewing commercial leases. Our proactive approach emphasizes creating robust systems and contractual safeguards designed to minimize risk and avoid litigation. We have assisted clients in navigating minority-owned business certifications at the state and federal levels, negotiating franchise agreements, and securing essential insurance and payment structures.

When disputes arise, we offer strategic counsel tailored to each client’s objectives. Whether resolution is achievable through negotiation, settlement, or requires litigation or arbitration, we develop a thoughtful plan of action and zealously advocate on your behalf. We routinely appear before all Massachusetts trial courts and have earned a reputation for thorough preparation and effective advocacy.

Home renovations and construction projects can present unique challenges. We represent homeowners and contractors in disputes over workmanship, contract performance, lien issues and statutory claims under Massachusetts General Laws Chapters 142A and 93A. Having tried numerous arbitration and court cases, we pursue favorable outcomes through cost-efficient arbitration, settlement or trial. In landlord-tenant law, we represent both residential and commercial landlords and tenants in lease drafting, negotiations, evictions and defense actions. Our familiarity with Massachusetts General Laws Chapters 186 and 239 ensures compliance and effective resolution.

From your initial consultation to case resolution, we dedicate ourselves to understanding your situation and delivering practical advice that balances legal strategy with business considerations. We offer flexible appointment options, including virtual meetings and accept credit cards. At Tanowitz Law Office, P.C., your success is our priority.
