Securities Law
390 N. Broadway, 140, Jericho, NY 11753
Eric J. Benzenberg was listed as an attorney with The Basile Law Firm P.C. in Jericho, New York, in a federal court opinion dated November 5, 2024. The opinion named him among counsel for Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.
That litigation concerned a convertible debt financing transaction between Gaucho and 3i. The court described a $5.62 million deal executed in February 2023 through a securities purchase agreement, a securities and pledge agreement, and a senior secured convertible note. Gaucho sought to rescind the transaction, while the defendants asserted counterclaims that included breach of contract and unjust enrichment.
An earlier appellate decision also records Benzenberg’s work with the firm. In September 2022, New York’s Appellate Division, Fourth Department, identified him as counsel with Basile for the plaintiffs-appellants in AH Wines, Inc. v C6 Capital Funding LLC. A firm publication updated in October 2023 described him as a partner whose practice encompassed corporate restructuring, complex commercial litigation, and mergers and acquisitions.
At the firm level, Basile’s services page describes business advice to companies, boards, management, owners, and professionals concerning growth, business development, investors, creditors, and acquisitions. Its transactional offering includes contracts involving distributors and manufacturers, employment agreements, financing documents, and mergers or acquisitions. The firm offers transactional services both independently and through arrangements establishing a set fee for recurring work.
