This week, we are joined by Rebecca Tushnet, Faculty Co-Director and Professor of the First Amendment at Harvard Law School, to discuss one of the biggest cases in real estate — CoStar Group v. Zillow. CoStar is alleging that Zillow used nearly 47,000 of CoStar’s copyrighted real estate images without license, so we asked Rebecca to help us break down the facts of the case, given her immense experience in Intellectual Property. Lee, Mike and Rebecca discusses the strength of CoStar’s case as well as the strategies each party might use.

If you are are in the real estate sector, this case is one to watch as it has the possibility to set precedent in New York and potentially across the country. Catch up on the facts now!

Working Together. For You.

We are not just your attorneys, we are your partners.

What does this mean? Simply this: when you engage us, we are fully invested in arriving at the best possible outcome for you. Advocating for your interests becomes our number one priority from the moment you call us until long after the contract is signed or decision rendered.

The purchase or sale of real estate is a major financial transaction in a person or company’s life. A real estate transaction is a contract where the terms of the documents will determine your rights, so it is essential to take an aggressive approach to the negotiation and drafting of these documents. Failing to do so could cause the loss of significant value and may bind you to unfavorable terms.

Especially in a high-priced market such as NYC, it is important to approach these transactions with help from a dedicated attorney. Property transactions require disciplined attention to detail as well as in-depth knowledge of the law. Let a New York City real estate lawyer protect your rights and preserve your best interests.
