Results The James Firm has obtained for New York operators.

Heavily licensed corridor with 14 existing full-liquor premises inside the 500-foot radius. Prepared public-interest record, secured Community Board recommendation with stipulated hours, and obtained the license without operational concessions on food service or seating.

Multi-count pleading alleging disorderly premises and method-of-operation violations. Negotiated a conditional no-contest resolution that dismissed two counts and reduced the proposed penalty to a fine without suspension.

Buyer needed continuous operation. Coordinated asset purchase, temporary retail permit, and full license transfer so the premises never went dark between closing and final SLA approval.

Owner had a hard build-out completion date. Pre-lease location review confirmed eligibility within 24 hours; application filed the same week as lease execution; license issued before soft open.

Authority sought revocation following repeat alleged violations at a long-standing neighborhood bar. Prevailed at administrative hearing on the principal counts; license retained with stipulated compliance plan.

Initial CB committee was opposed. Revised method of operation, added neighbor-engagement commitments, and returned at the next committee meeting with a favorable recommendation. SLA followed the board's revised position.

Multi-unit operator restructured ownership across three premises. Filed coordinated corporate change applications so each location remained continuously licensed during the transition.

Sidewalk café area added to the licensed premises through an alteration application coordinated with the city's outdoor dining program and Community Board input.

Coordinated lease diligence, premises eligibility, and OCM application filings. Advanced through review without deficiency cycles on the firm's submission package.
