What better place to establish a presence than at our clients' doorstep in Jersey City – home to many of our clients in the financial services, securities, gold coast real estate and development and port commerce industries." The Firm also announced the addition of  two new attorneys, who will be based in the Jersey City office. Partner Eugene T.
