A New York court won’t grant your preliminary injunction until you post an undertaking.
The bond protects the party you’re enjoining if the injunction turns out wrongful.
The court fixes the amount — and we underwrite it.
A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.
















A court that grants a preliminary injunction fixes the undertaking at the same time and gives you days to post it. Here is the whole process:
Apply online with the order setting the undertaking, the parties, and the amount the court fixed. If the order isn’t entered yet, send the motion and the amount you expect.
A specialist reviews the order, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The amount is fixed by the court — underwriting decides approval and any collateral, not the penal sum.
Once you bind, we issue the executed undertaking on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to file before the injunction takes effect.
An injunction freezes the other side before the case is decided. If that injunction later proves wrongful, the enjoined party has been harmed — so New York requires the plaintiff to put up an undertaking first.
The injunction bond guarantees the enjoined party’s damages and costs get paid if it is finally determined the plaintiff was not entitled to the injunction. The court fixes the amount for that risk.
Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large undertaking can require collateral and financials. On a TRO the undertaking is in the court’s discretion rather than mandatory — we flag which applies before you apply.
These are the actual underwriting fields — the order setting the undertaking, the parties, your business, and your financials. Submit once and a surety specialist returns a quote, typically within one business day. Free until your bond is issued.
