Origin and Background
Founded in 2001, Tarter Krinsky & Drogin has grown to more than 90 attorneys across “two decades and four offices,” per the firm’s own site, while deliberately targeting middle-market companies and entrepreneurs rather than only Fortune 500 clients. The Manhattan headquarters at 1350 Broadway was confirmed against the firm’s own site and multiple independent business listings.
What Makes This Firm Structurally Different
Tarter Krinsky & Drogin positions itself explicitly between large-firm capability and boutique agility: per its own site, the firm’s “collaborative, multi-disciplinary structure means we can handle all of our clients’ interconnected legal needs seamlessly, from a real estate transaction to a subsequent construction project and any litigation that may arise.” Through membership in the Law Firm Alliance, the firm also offers clients access to a network of vetted firms in other jurisdictions.
Practice Areas
- Commercial litigation
- Business litigation
- Employment litigation
- Securities and financial services litigation
- Bankruptcy, creditor-debtor rights, and corporate restructuring
- Construction and real estate litigation
Track Record
Awesome Attorneys did not identify a published, itemized table of verdicts or settlements on the firm’s site. Past results in any matter do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
An independently posted Martindale.com peer review describes one Tarter Krinsky & Drogin attorney as “an outstanding lawyer” the reviewer had known “for nearly twenty years,” while another peer review states the attorney “was ethical, hard working and extremely able” based on direct professional experience. Awesome Attorneys did not identify a broader set of itemized, attributed client reviews across major consumer platforms as of this profile’s research date.
Beyond the Courtroom
Several Tarter Krinsky & Drogin attorneys hold Avvo Top Contributor recognition for publishing legal guides and answering public legal questions, extending the firm’s public-facing legal education beyond direct client representation.
Recognition
Firm attorneys have received Martindale-Hubbell’s Distinguished and Notable peer-review ratings, reflecting sustained peer recognition for professional achievement and ethical standards, distinct from purchased marketing placements. New York does not maintain a board-certification system for business litigation comparable to Texas’s TBLS, so Awesome Attorneys does not apply “specialist” language to any New York business litigation attorney on that basis.
New York Legal Backdrop
Commercial contract disputes in New York generally carry a six-year statute of limitations under CPLR § 213(2). Bankruptcy and creditor-debtor disputes may involve both New York state collection remedies under CPLR Article 52 and federal bankruptcy law where applicable, and construction disputes often implicate New York’s Lien Law alongside standard contract claims. None of this is legal advice; a specific commercial or bankruptcy dispute should be evaluated by a licensed attorney based on the actual facts involved.
Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Tarter Krinsky & Drogin’s clearest differentiator is a deliberate middle-market focus, offering the coordinated, multi-disciplinary capability of a larger firm without pricing out mid-sized businesses and entrepreneurs. The honest trade-off is that Awesome Attorneys could not locate a published, itemized outcomes record or a broad set of attributed client reviews to weigh against the firm’s own description, and prospective clients should confirm the current attorney handling any given matter given the firm’s size. For a middle-market business or entrepreneur who wants integrated litigation, real estate, and corporate counsel under one roof without large-firm pricing, that positioning is a reasonable basis for a shortlist.
