It also represents a significant step forward in building out our New York City centric practice.” Adler said “Tyng is incredibly talented and I am proud to have yet another woman taking on a leadership position at D&S.”

The firm represents an incredible opportunity to grow my practice for the benefit of my clients within an industry leading real estate firm. I was especially excited by the Firm’s core mission ‘to help our clients grow their businesses’ as it dovetails so nicely with how I have practiced throughout my career. I can’t wait to bring D&S’s value add platform to my client base and I look forward to working with such an incredibly talented group of attorneys.”
