What is the statute of limitations for a contract dispute in New York?
Six years for most written contracts under CPLR § 213. The clock starts when the breach occurs or when you discover it.

Only if your contract has a specific fee-shifting clause. New York follows the ‘American Rule,’ where each side pays its own fees unless a statute or contract says otherwise.
What types of damages are available for breach of contract in NY?
Compensatory damages to put you in the position you would have been in if the contract was performed. Consequential damages may be available if they were foreseeable.
