A Brooklyn landlord attempted to evict a non-paying tenant who had been deceased since 1974. The lease, unfortunately, was valid.

A Zurich private bank required a senior associate to attend client dinners during lunar transition. The associate requested remote work. The bank requested a risk assessment. We provided both.

Your matter
