Outside General Counsel & Government Procurement Lawyer for New York City Businesses

Bondar Legal P.C. serves New York City businesses, contractors, and city vendors as outside general counsel and in municipal, business, and procurement matters — bringing the perspective of an attorney who spent years inside New York City government.

Your lawyer has worked inside NYC agencies

Before founding the firm, Eugene Bondar counseled the New York City Department of Transportation on infrastructure projects — bridges, roadways, and ground transportation, with the contracts, permitting, real estate, and land use issues those projects generate — and led enforcement actions there that recovered more than $1 million in performance bond payments^*. He later helped build the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs' first dedicated contracts function, and served as Associate General Counsel to the Gateway Development Commission on the $16 billion Hudson River rail tunnel program. When you negotiate with a city agency, he knows how the other side of the table thinks — because he sat there.

How we help NYC businesses and city vendors

• Outside general counsel — fractional legal coverage for NYC companies that need a lawyer on call without in-house cost
• Government procurement — city, state, and authority solicitations: RFB/RFP review, award-phase negotiation, bid protests, and responsibility and vendor-integrity inquiries
• Municipal & regulatory matters — FOIL requests and appeals, OATH proceedings, and Article 78 challenges to agency determinations
• Business & commercial contracts — drafting, review, and negotiation, informed by managing the full lifecycle of 400+ commercial agreements
• Civil litigation — contract and construction disputes in the city's state and federal courts (S.D.N.Y. and E.D.N.Y. admitted)

Doing business with the City of New York

Selling to the City means navigating agency solicitations, vendor responsibility determinations, performance bonds, prevailing wage obligations, and audits — and when a dispute arises, strict notice and administrative procedures that can quietly forfeit your claim. We counsel vendors and contractors from bid review through closeout, and represent businesses responding to agency enforcement at every stage.
