In 2011, Joshua Stein, the sole principal of Joshua Stein PLLC, was recognized by Who's Who Legal as one of the ten "most highly regarded" commercial real estate attorneys in the world. The same year, Chambers USA identified him as one of the leading real estate attorneys in New York--the only one in that group who does not practice in a large firm. The fall 2011 issue of Super Lawyers magazine devoted its cover story to Joshua Stein and his unusual move to his own practice after 20+ years at one of the largest law firms in the world.

Mr. Stein is one of the most prolific writers about commercial real estate law and practice in the United States. The "Publications" link on this website offers downloadable versions of more than 100 of his articles, as well as information about Mr. Stein's books. Topics covered include every area of legal work handled by Joshua Stein PLLC, as listed above, plus insurance, legal practice and ethics, negotiations, computers, and more.
