Montgomery McCracken partner Phyllis Weisberg has been appointed to serve as chair of the cooperative and condominium law committee of the New York City Bar Association.

The committee comments on pending legislation and drafts proposed legislation. It also develops forms used by practitioners, including, most recently, a condominium unit sales contract. The committee presents several CLE programs throughout the year. Weisberg is a member of the firm's New York office and its real estate practice. Her practice has a special emphasis on cooperative and condominium matters. She speaks frequently on matters of interest to co-op and condo owners, board officers and members, and realtors.
