Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP
What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of? I am proud of the expansion of my practice and generation of new clients in new industries over the past couple of years. I have worked with new clients in completely restructuring their real estate and business, helping create a new and unique business to address the difficulty in obtaining financing for leasehold improvements and helping create a financing and implementation platform for bio manufacturing. Having new clients from different industries seek my counsel and advice is extremely gratifying.

With my parents serving as examples, I developed a strong work ethic and drive to succeed which has formed my character and instructed my success.
