Marc H. Supcoff, Esq.

Marc Supcoff is founder and principal attorney of The Law Offices of Marc H. Supcoff. The Law Firm specializes in all aspects of construction law, commercial law, and real estate transactions.

Mr. Supcoff started his legal career as a litigation associate at a large Wall Street law firm, working with a dynamic trial attorney/mentor who inspired Marc’s own passion for trial work and teaching.  Marc was also a commercial litigator at a midsize general practice law firm in Manhattan and practiced at a Manhattan boutique law firm which specialized in design and construction law.  In 2003, Mr. Supcoff started his own law offices. Since then, the Firm has been counseling and representing clients in significant commercial, construction law and real estate transaction matters. He brings his knowledge base and extensive experience to each new client and matter.

Construction Law Practice

Mr. Supcoff represents owners, contractors and design professionals, preparing and negotiating all types of construction-related agreements, including AIA agreements, customized agreements, and contracts drafted by a counter-party.

Marc prosecutes and defends mechanic’s lien claims, payment claims, construction and design defect claims in litigation, and mediates and arbitrates client disputes.  

Mr. Supcoff also negotiates real property access agreements between owners requiring access to an adjacent property to complete construction improvements (licensees) and owners for whom property access is sought (licensors).   Mr. Supcoff has also successfully represented owners in RPAPL Section 881 litigation in New York State Supreme Court seeking access to protect an adjacent property owner’s building during construction.

Commercial Law Practice

The Law Firm’s diverse commercial law practice includes representation of individuals and small to medium size companies prosecuting or defending breach of contract, fraud, and wage and employment discrimination claims. Mr. Supcoff has extensive experience representing clients in high-stakes commercial arbitration before the American Arbitration Association and JAMS. The Firm also appears regularly in New York State Supreme Court and the Superior Court of New Jersey on significant construction and commercial litigation disputes.

Real Estate Transaction Practice

The Law Firm represents buyers and sellers of co-op and condominium apartments in NYC and properties in northern New Jersey.  We also represent individuals and companies in negotiating commercial leases, including build-out of Tenant space for particular usage.  

Marc Supcoff is admitted to practice law in New York and New Jersey and a member of the American Bar Association.  

In addition to his law practice, Mr. Supcoff is an adjunct professor at Fordham University Law School. Since 2018, he has taught a one-semester seminar class “Legal Research and Writing” to 12-14 international lawyers obtaining their LLM degree in New York.  In his free time, Marc enjoys watching college hoops, spending time with family and enjoying the outdoors.
