In 2013, we were retained to represent Kristina ("Kicki") Armstrong, in a legal malpractice action against her former matrimonial firm, Blank Rome, LLP and the lawyers who mishandled her case.
Ms. Armstrong had hired Blank Rome to represent her in her divorce from her former husband, who was arguably the No. 3 person at the financial powerhouse, Morgan Stanley.
The case involved claims that the Blank Rome defendants suffered from a "debilitating conflict of interest" as they failed to disclose to Ms. Armstrong that they simultaneously represented Morgan Stanley and had been doing so for years.

Pray Automobile Corporation, Greenwich, Ct - - Represented seller of what was arguably the most significant parcels of commercial property comprising two sides of West Putnam Avenue (the Post Road) in Greenwich.
The sales price for the real estate was $21,000,000.
Because of its use as an automobile dealership/repair facility, the deal involved complex and sophisticated environmental, structural and zoning issues.
We were instrumental in working with local engineers to obtain both septic approval and wetlands approval and then single-handedly located a developer/buyer for the lot.

In the past few years, we have counseled clients who were investing in both private companies and public companies who were privately offering both debt and equity.
We conducted extensive due diligence, reviewed and reformed the offering documents, revised the securities instruments and generally counseled our clients with respect to protecting their investments given the nature of the offering.
We have also formed limited liability companies and structured those entities in cases where our clients wanted to form syndications for purposes of pooling their capital with others.
