Greetings from TRR!
The summer has come to a close, and we enter the fall with many exciting announcements to share with you.

We will have updated information about what’s happening with the firm, as well as new blog posts on the site in the coming months, so stay tuned! We also maintain a second blog, writing on legal matters, and other interesting and articles at www.newyorkbusinesslawyers.net
Senior Partner Lewis Tesser is the immediate past President of the New York County Lawyers’ Association, and remains on the Executive Board. He was also once again elected as a New York “Super Lawyer,” and will continue as faculty for legal education seminars and panels.
Senior Partner Gregory J. Ryan and Senior Associate Timothy Nolen have been named to the Editorial Board of the Cannabis Law Journal, an online, quarterly publication which features “commentary and analysis of current and emergying issues arising from the legalization of Cannabis and the continued growth of the Cannabis Industry.” Learn about their first article for the publication here.

Earlier this year, TRR welcomed two new Associates onto our team, Daniel Reichelscheimer and Marjorie Altman Tesser. Be sure to wish them a warm welcome!

Prior to that, he performed in the world premiere of Downrange: Voices from the Homefront at Cape Fear Regional Theater and the world premiere of the critically acclaimed play The Project(s) at American Theater Company in Chicago. He is currently working on his directorial debut of The Situation, a short film.
Select Cases
- TRR successfully obtained the dismissal of a major federal lawsuit which alleged, among many other claims, the theft of a competitor’s property and customers and improper solicitation of employees and customers. The dismissal followed multiple years of hotly contested litigation in state and federal courts between the parties. The federal case sought damages for violating the civil RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) statute.
- TRR also recently obtained the dismissal of a fraud suit against a client commenced by a former employer. The action was dismissed after a motion to dismiss was filed by the firm with the state Supreme Court. The case was closely tied to a high-profile New York City political corruption criminal trial which resulted in the convictions of other parties.
- TRR represented the owners of a regional moving and storage company in the sale of the business. The transaction, which took many months to conclude, involved many intricate issues including structuring the sale and working with the buyer on the financing of the purchase, federal and state taxation and licensure issues, reaching agreement with existing employees, and a consulting arrangement to allow for the orderly transition of the business from seller to buyer.
