LePatner associates Alex Tuttle and Alicia Bond (her brother’s name is James, no joke) with firm partners Ron Feingold and Henry Korn. Henry tells us that the construction industry will be busy through the 31st, but ‘09 is up in the air. One thing is certain: everyone will have to work harder, especially helping clients get work done on time and on budget, he says.
LePatner associate Jonathan Grippo, Deborah Rubin and associate Amy Barrett. Deborah also reports a busy end of year, but says she’s looking forward to visiting friends during the holidays and checking out the decorations around the city (Lord & Taylor’s windows are her favorite; we’re partial to Macy’s).
