Founded in 1993 by four trial attorneys, Aaronson Rappaport has grown into a leading litigation firm with more than 80 attorneys.
Bond Schoeneck & King also signed a seven-year lease extension at 600 Third. A tenant at the building since 2014, the firm’s New York City office will remain in the 12,505 s/f it currently occupies across the entire 22nd floor of the building through at least 2033.

Originally built in 1970, the 575,254 s/f tower occupies the entire western blockfront between East 39th and East 40th Sts. L&L, which owns 600 Third in partnership with BlackRock, has undertaken a series of renovations to the tower, including lobby upgrades and building system improvements.

“We are pleased to extend our partnerships with Aaronson Rappaport and Bond Schoeneck & King, two highly valued tenants of the office tower,” said L&L Holding executive vice president of leasing, Jonathan Tootell. “600 Third Avenue’s exceptional workspaces and superior accessibility have made it a sought-after destination for organizations aiming to attract, inspire and retain top-tier talent.”
