Full-Service Law Firm · New York & International
Karl, Mauritson & Cuff LLP advises businesses, families and individuals in New York and across borders, from business transactions and disputes to immigration, real estate, family matters and estates.
Welcome to KMC
Legal questions rarely stop at a border. Contracts are signed between parties on different continents, families live across time zones, and assets sit under more than one legal system.
Karl, Mauritson & Cuff LLP was built for exactly that reality. From our office in New York, we help clients understand their options, manage risk and move forward with confidence, whether the matter is a cross-border acquisition, an international dispute, a visa application or a family estate plan.
Client Recovery & Transaction Services
Focused services for recovering lost funds, pursuing refunds, selling property and holding business purchase funds securely. Every matter starts with an honest assessment, and we never guarantee outcomes.

Legal routes to trace and pursue money lost to fraud, scams, misdirected transfers, breached contracts or unpaid judgments.
