A New City, New York Law Firm for Businesses & Individuals

New City businesses and residents call Bondar Legal P.C. when a contract is at stake, a dispute is headed to court, or a government agency has said no. The firm drafts and negotiates the agreements that run your business, and it litigates when a deal goes wrong, for companies and individuals alike. Its office sits steps from the county government complex where founder Eugene Bondar served as Principal Assistant County Attorney.

Counsel from inside the county seat

New City is the seat of Rockland County government, and much of what a local business runs into, from permits and public bids to records requests and agency determinations, is decided a short walk from the firm's door. Before founding the firm, Eugene Bondar spent nearly four years as Principal Assistant County Attorney for Rockland County, advising the county executive team and the departments of planning, public transportation, highways and drainage, procurement, general services, facilities management, and environmental resources, and serving as counsel to the County's FOIL appeals officer. He counseled all county capital projects, including project labor agreement negotiations, and handled the acquisition of properties, easements, and licenses. That is the perspective you get when your matter involves a municipality: a lawyer who has sat on the government's side of the table.

Business counsel and contracts

Most legal problems are cheaper to prevent than to litigate. As outside general counsel, Eugene handles the vendor and customer agreements, governance, and day-to-day questions an in‑house legal department would, at a predictable cost. For companies that need a specific agreement drafted or reviewed, the firm's business and commercial contracts practice covers MSAs, NDAs, service agreements, leases, and the personal guarantees that so often ride along with them.

Civil litigation and disputes

When a deal goes sideways, Eugene litigates, and he prepares every matter as if it will be tried, because the best settlements go to the side that is ready for court. Contract disputes, partnership and ownership conflicts, mechanics liens, and trade secret matters make up the core of the firm's civil litigation practice, in Rockland County Supreme Court and the state and federal courts across the region. Often the smartest result is a negotiated one: a well-built demand letter resolves many disputes before a complaint is ever filed, and mediation resolves others.

Construction, contractors, and payment

Rockland County's contractors, subcontractors, and developers bring Bondar Legal their construction contracts and the disputes they generate: unpaid invoices, change orders, pay-if-paid clauses, lien deadlines, and prevailing wage compliance on public work.

Government matters

Selling to, or disputing with, a public body? This firm advises on public bids and procurement, contractor responsibility, FOIL requests and appeals, and zoning and land use applications before the town and village boards, areas Eugene advised on from inside county government, as well as Article 78 challenges to agency decisions.
