Introducing Long Island Business Influencers: Law 2024

Listen to this article

In this special section, “Long Island Business Influencers: Law 2024,” we feature 40 of the region’s best legal minds. Whether commercial land use, elder law, matrimonial and family law, cannabis, real estate and others, the region by far boasts some of the most successful and engaging attorneys. Undoubtedly perfectionists when it comes to their craft, these individuals not only go above and beyond service to their clients—they also give back to their respective communities on both a personal and professional level. Aside from advocating for their clients based on the best-use of the law, this year’s list of influential attorneys also hone their skills to teach others.

Representing local law schools Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University, St. John’s University School of Law, and Touro Law as the deans overseeing these institutions, many of this year’s influencers are also educators, dedicating their time to mentoring and guiding the next generation of attorneys. In addition, LIBN seeks to honor these great legal minds—many alumni also appear in this special section—with our annual Leadership in Law awards.

Held on Monday, Nov. 11, this event recognizes individuals whose dedication, both in the legal profession and the community, have had a positive impact on Long Island.With law kicking off this year’s Influencers series, we will feature additional industries throughout the year. If you—or someone you know—is considered a Long Island influencer, please feel free to recommend them using our online form: https://libn.com/libn-influencers-recommendation-form/.
