C. Jaye Berger, Law Offices of C. Jaye Berger

Name: C. Jaye Berger
Title: Founder
Company: Law Offices of C. Jaye Berger
In the last 12 months, which project, transaction, honor or accomplishment are you most proud of and why?
I was researching a motion for a new client about the topic about home improvement contractors and the fact that they cannot sue for breach of contract or quantum meruit if they do not have a home improvement contractor's license in the county where the work was performed, when I found that a decision on a motion I won dismissing such a case, which had been published and was online Bindela Constr. LLC v. Campo, 2013 NY Slip Op 31823(U), August 2, 2013. That was a nice feeling and my client appreciated it as well.
What motivated you to step out on your own?
I was motivated to step out on my own when I realized that the structure of a large firm with other partners was holding me back from doing things I wanted to do professionally. I have always been interested in writing about the cases I handle and construction law in general. I found that before I could publish articles, my fellow partners had to review and approve the topics and articles to see it everyone agreed on them first. It slowed everything down too much for my taste. If I have a great idea and something interesting to say, I want to get it out there.
