Corporate Law Firm NYC Secures $2m Unpaid Goods Payment

The client operated a construction materials supply business delivering steel reinforcement and concrete accessories to multiple active construction sites. 

The transactions were conducted through repeated deliveries aligned with construction schedules, based on verbal agreements regarding quantity, delivery confirmation, and payment timing, a common commercial practice in New York’s construction sector.

 All goods were delivered, accepted on site, and verified by site managers without objection.

The legal team organized delivery records, invoices, site confirmation logs, and partial payment evidence to demonstrate the existence of a binding supply agreement. 

The firm emphasized that repeated deliveries and acceptance of goods constituted clear assent to contractual terms, and that the supplier had fully performed its obligations. 

Evidence of partial payment was strategically used to reinforce the buyer’s acknowledgment of the debt.

The legal argument focused on the principle that a buyer’s internal project disruptions do not nullify payment obligations for completed deliveries. 

The firm argued that once goods are delivered and accepted, payment becomes due regardless of subsequent project developments. 

This distinction was presented as a fundamental commercial rule under New York law, ensuring fairness and predictability in business transactions.

The court concluded that the buyer’s refusal to pay lacked legal justification and that the supplier had satisfied all contractual obligations. 

As a result, the client successfully recovered the entire unpaid amount, restoring cash flow stability and reinforcing contractual accountability. 

This outcome highlights how a corporate law firm NYC can leverage focused phone consultations and litigation readiness to secure decisive results for business clients.
