What Borah, Goldstein, Altschuler, Nahins & Goidel, P.C. does

Borah, Goldstein, Altschuler, Nahins & Goidel, P.C. is a privately held New York real estate law firm founded around 1978-1980 and headquartered in Manhattan, with additional offices in Forest Hills (Queens) and the Bronx. The firm is organized as a professional corporation with a team of over 50 attorneys serving as a full-service real estate law platform for property owners, management companies, co-operative and condominium associations, and real estate investors across New York City and Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester and Rockland counties. Its practice modules cover landlord-tenant and eviction proceedings, Supreme Court litigation, administrative proceedings (DHCR, HPD, DOB, Loft Board), co-operative/condominium law, bankruptcy, judgment enforcement, appellate litigation, rent regulation, real estate transactions, and a newly added Land Use and Zoning practice.

Revenue is generated through traditional professional fee billing across the ten practice modules, with the Director Protector® subsidiary providing productized proactive preventive legal services and audits to co-op and condo boards and their members. The firm's clientele spans both large institutional owners (Tishman Speyer, Vornado, Mack-Cali REIT, CWCapital, Citibank, Cushman & Wakefield, Glenwood Management, Rose Associates, The Witkoff Group) and a long tail of more than 100 condos and co-ops for which it serves as general counsel. It also represents notable non-real-estate clients such as Columbia University on landlord-tenant matters.

Business development runs through a thought-leadership-led GTM built on CLE instruction, industry-conference participation (NYARM Expo, Cooperator Expo, Real Deal Showcase), regular blog and newsletter coverage of NYC regulatory changes (HSTPA, Local Law 97, DHCR amendments), and earned media in The New York Times, The Real Deal, Crain's New York, and the New York Post. The firm has been recognized as a top NYC real estate practice by The Real Deal (rankings in 2010, 2015, 2016, and 2017) and partners have been named to New York Metro Super Lawyers and the New York Real Estate Journal's Women in Professional Services list.
