Kagan Lubic Lepper Finkelstein and Gold

What Kagan Lubic Lepper Finkelstein and Gold does

Kagan Lubic Lepper Finkelstein & Gold, LLP is a New York-based, AV-rated limited liability partnership founded in 1973 that delivers specialized legal counsel to cooperative housing associations, condominium associations, Mitchell-Lama and HDFC housing entities, and commercial and residential real estate clients across the New York metropolitan area. The firm operates four integrated practice areas—Cooperative and Condominium Law, Real Estate Law, Mitchell-Lama/HDFC Housing Law, and Litigation and Alternate Dispute Resolution—serving as general counsel to over 150 cooperatives and condominiums across the five boroughs, Long Island, and Westchester and Rockland counties. Service delivery is anchored by long-term attorney-client relationships; partners attend monthly board meetings and represent clients from pre-lawsuit negotiation through federal and state court litigation, including Article 78 proceedings.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform; core deliverables are produced through attorney expertise in New York-specific regulatory regimes administered by HPD, HUD, and DHCR, including Mitchell-Lama succession rights, 8A financing, HPD audits, Local Law compliance, and construction defect claims. Its competitive differentiation rests on 40+ years of specialized practice, an AV rating, and standing thought-leadership presence in industry publications such as Habitat Magazine, The Cooperator, and the New York Times Ask Real Estate column.

Revenue is generated on a professional services basis via fees determined by engagement scope and complexity, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm also derives ancillary revenue as approved defense counsel for several prominent insurance carriers representing insured co-op/condo clients. Distribution is exclusively direct attorney-to-client engagement from a single office at 200 Madison Avenue, with marketing conducted through professional publications, industry association lectures, and client referrals rather than outbound sales motions.
