Mr. Zelko has also represented clients in general corporate and commercial matters such as corporate formation, shareholder issues, and negotiating and drafting contracts. He has negotiated and drafted contracts for a broad range of clients, including shareholder operating agreements, construction contracts, asset purchase agreements, service and vendor contracts, confidentiality and non-compete agreements, and employment and independent contractor agreements.
Mr. Zelko has extensive experience in commercial and residential real estate and has successfully completed several large commercial lease transactions within the last few months. Mr. Zelko also represents purchasers and sellers and has litigated a variety of real estate matters relating to landlord-tenant, breach of contract, and co-op and condominium issues.

Mr. Zelko speaks fluent Italian and holds dual citizenship between the United States and Italy.
