LePatner associates Alex Tuttle and Alicia Bond (her brother’s name is James, no joke) with firm partners Ron Feingold and Henry Korn.

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).
