Michael Lowe

My practice is focused in the areas of commercial litigation, real estate, business transactions as well as business consulting. For over 30 years I have litigated matters involving contract disputes, construction claims, mechanic’s liens, trade secrets, restrictive covenants and conflicts between shareholders, members, partners, and directors in a wide array of matters.

I also represent buyers and sellers of residential and commercial real estate, as well as landlords in eviction proceedings.

In addition, I counsel individuals or groups in existing companies and those who are forming new business ventures who are in need of shareholder agreements and operating agreements.

I have handled over 20 appeals in the Appellate Division and the Court of Appeals.

I also represent Materials Testing Lab, Inc. and American Aerospace Controls, Inc., two of Long Island’s leading testing and manufacturing companies.

In addition, I am counsel to the owners and developers of The Space at Westbury, the premier music and entertainment venue in Nassau County.
