Practice Areas
Agribusiness
New York State agriculture is a $5 billion a year business, yet few lawyers really understand the legal challenges faced by today’s farms, dairies, and orchards. We want to be the trusted advisor you turn to when considering issues of immigration compliance, marketing and distribution agreements, co-op agreements, price-fixing, feed contamination, farm management agreements, pesticide overspray, food labeling, and succession planning.
Labor & Employment
Every business deals with labor and employment issues. The lawyers at Muehe Maue & Robinson LLP know the intricacies of wage and hour compliance, discrimination and hostile workplace claims, and proper employee hiring and firing procedures. In addition, we regularly conduct internal training for management and employees that is fully compliant with New York’s anti-sexual harassment training requirement.

Lenders need more than a mere document mill to protect their interests. We provide in depth review of all transactions to make sure our banking clients are properly secured and protected when making residential or commercial loans. When a loan goes sideways, we represent institutional and private lenders in foreclosure actions, including making all mandatory filing with the NYS Dept. of Financial Services.

Insurance companies consistently undervalue injury claims. That is why you need an experienced advocate in your corner, not just an ad jingle. Our lawyers will help you negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company or go to court to get you what you deserve.
