John Nielsen Rejoins Curtis as Corporate Partner

Curtis is pleased to welcome John Nielsen as a Corporate partner in the firm’s New York office. Mr. Nielsen returns to Curtis after serving as General Counsel and Secretary for two institutional broker-dealers, most recently Hunt Financial Securities.
