Pace Now

Haub Law announces Barbara Ballan has been named the inaugural LLM Sustainable Business Law Fellow of Haub Law’s newly launched Sustainable Business Law Hub.

Adjunct Professor Debra Cohen spoke with The New York Times regarding the massive fire that took place at a Police Department warehouse in Brooklyn, erasing decades of evidence for cases that ranged from reckless driving to murders and cold cases.

Pace University is embarking on a transformation of One Pace Plaza, the central building of its Lower Manhattan campus, to include new academic spaces, a modernized residence hall, and a state-of-the-art performing arts center. The rebuilt theater is slated to serve not only the university’s performing and creative arts programs, but also to act as a central gathering space and cultural venue for the Lower Manhattan community. The modernized One Place Plaza is also being designed to lower carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency.

The firm faces “a host of intangibles,” said Bennett Gershman, a professor at Pace University’s law school. “The parent company, as a felon, could be barred from having contracts with government agencies, and it could make it more difficult to do business with banks,” Gershman said in an interview before the verdict. “This is a big deal.”

"It spells doom for the Trump Organization — I really see it as a death knell," Bennett Gershman, a professor at Pace University's law school and a former prosecutor in the New York State Anti-Corruption Office, told CBS MoneyWatch. "It would be implausible for any responsible lending institution, bank, insurance company or institutions that provide financial support for companies to have anything to do with the Trump Organization now."

“The consequences could potentially be devastating for the company,” said Ben Gershman, a former prosecutor in the New York State Anti-Corruption Office and law professor at Pace University. “The Trump Organization is now toxic. Nobody wants to touch them.”
