Curtis Law in New York

In this episode, Kate is in Curtis’ headquarters in New York, the city where it was founded nearly 200 years ago. Today, Curtis occupies several floors of a prestigious heritage building just a few steps from Grand Central Terminal. As you’d expect of the firm’s headquarters, and the largest of all Curtis offices, it has the full range of international and U.S. practice areas.

  • Susan Maples, energy lawyer on the lure of the mega-deal, oil and gas work, representing African governments and how unexpectedly her career has turned out, with advice on what to think about;
  • Jason Wright, former military lawyer, talks litigation, economic warfare (sanctions law), and how his time as a JAG (judge advocate) in the U.S. army has informed his practice, and shares some advice for young lawyers;
  • Jonathan Walsh, co-managing partner and the firm’s compliance partner, talks on New York litigation, acting for Brazilian clients, professional services litigation, representing the boxing promoter, Don King over decades and other surprising firm clients; and
  • Corporate lawyer and co-managing partner, Val Hing talks about the international flavor of her broadly based corporate practice. She advises on corporate, commercial, finance, corporate finance and even some regulatory aspects. She also explains why pro bono publico work is an important part of her professional life and how the firm supports that.
