Alexis Cirel has been on modified duty since November 23, 2013, the day that Cade Cirel Aballi first “saw the day” (in Pittsburgh, of all places). Cade reported in as a very healthy and very large 9+ pounder, and the last we heard he was planning on attending Harvard Law School next year.
New York, NY, January 5, 2014 –
Karlinsky LLC has tapped Murray D. Schwartz as Corporate Counsel, further strengthening the Firm’s business operations and initiatives and enlarging its practice to encompass corporate law and mergers and acquisitions. While the New York City-based firm continues to focus on civil and business litigation, this acquisition will enable a broader range of service offerings and a deeper level of client support in both litigation and corporate practice.
Mr. Schwartz will advise Karlinsky LLC on governance and management, strategic planning and growth, and marketing and public relations. He will likewise continue an almost 40-year practice in corporate law and mergers and acquisitions, principally to mid-market entities. His combined business and legal experience derive from his serving at counsel and partner level for leading law firms, including Herrick Feinstein LLP; Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP; and Pryor Cashman LLP as well as senior executive for publishing concerns. Mr. Schwartz’s input on the Firm’s structure and development and policy implementation will deepen its leadership role in dispute resolution.
Said Martin E. Karlinsky, the firm’s managing member, “Mr. Schwartz and I practiced law together as partners during 2006/7, and found that we were a good fit. His substantive expertise as a lawyer expands our ability to offer additional services to existing litigation clients, and our existing platform and client base offer him new clients that can use his expertise.”
A member of the New York State Bar Association, Mr. Schwartz is a 1974 graduate of New York University School of Law where he was an editor of the NYU Law Review. He is active with the Advisory Board of the New York University Medical School Center for the Study and Treatment of Pain.
From the New York Law Journal, October 1, 2013
Background from KLLC:
Martin Karlinsky’s career-long leadership in pro bono legal representation qualifies him as an insightful commentator on New York State’s April 2013 ruling that requires attorneys to report their hours committed to pro bono causes and recommends an increase of pro bono hours to 50 from 20 annually.
Martin reflects in an October 1, 2013, New York Law Journal article that among the challenges for small law firms posed by these requirements is the absence of legal services groups dedicated to screening and coordinating pro bono work for them. Large firms may have full-time counsel to supervise their pro bono program.
The article highlights the burden that the increased pro bono hours place on small, boutique, and single-lawyer practices. Many attorneys and law firms are already contributing to their communities through pro bono commitments. They state that the definition of pro bono work is unclear and that free consultations and services and reduced-rate billing for low-income clients should count toward meeting the new recommendation. Handling a full litigation case is not realistic with their limited resources.
Karlinsky LLC’s legal and professional staff provides pro bono expertise to varied organizations, including the American Friends of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, RESOLVE, and the Wolf Conservation Center of South Salem, NY.
