Full-service real estate law firm Rosenberg & Estis P.C. (R&E) announced the addition of leading attorneys Alexander H. Shapiro, as member, and Joseph J. Kammerman, as counsel, to further develop the firm’s rapidly growing general commercial litigation practice.
“Real estate law has evolved into an increasingly complex and multifaceted field, shaped by heightened regulatory oversight, sophisticated financial structures, and the growing intersection of property, corporate, and commercial interests,” said Michael E. Lefkowitz, managing member of R&E. “Clients require counsel capable of navigating disputes at the highest level and, with proven track records in handling complex commercial disputes, Alexander and Joseph are valuable additions to the firm as we continue to evolve with the real estate landscape.”
Shapiro and Kammerman join R&E’s other litigators, bringing with them their deep experience and expertise in complex commercial litigation, including matters involving breach of contract, shareholder and partnership disputes and securities fraud, intellectual property, discovery in aid of foreign litigation (Section 1782), compliance and policy development and white-collar investigations and fraud.
A seasoned trial and appellate advocate with decades of experience in private practice, government service and corporate leadership, Shapiro has a proven track record of handling complex commercial disputes, white collar defense and regulatory investigations in state and federal forums across the country. His background includes serving as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York and holding senior leadership roles at two Fortune 500 companies. Shapiro joined R&E from the boutique litigation firm Ford O’Brien Landy LLP.
Shapiro holds a B.A. from Yale University, an M.Litt. from Cambridge University and a J.D. from Yale Law School.
Kammerman brings nearly a decade of experience as a litigator, previously practicing at Milbank LLP, where he was involved in high-profile commercial and white collar matters on behalf of private and public institutions across the country. Kammerman joined R&E to further expand his practice in the real estate industry while continuing to handle a wide range of complex and commercial matters.
Kammerman is a graduate of Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, J.D., and holds a B.A. in economics and political science from Rutgers University. He is admitted to practice in New York and the U.S. District Court for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.
