Hahn & Hessen LLP, a leading New York commercial-based law firm, is pleased to announce that Stephen J. Grable has become a partner in the Firm effective January 1, 2018. The promotion strengthens one of the firm's core practice areas: commercial litigation; and adds even further depth to the firm's substantial litigation capabilities and deep expertise in financial service, fiduciary, business disputes and bankruptcy matters.

In addition to continuing litigating commercial and bankruptcy matters, Stephen is assuming the role of Vice-Chair of the Firm's Fiduciary Litigation Practice Group. He will be responsible, along with the group's Chair, Zachary G. Newman, for representing fiduciaries in both affirmative and defensive litigation throughout the United States.

By way of background, Stephen joined the firm as an associate after graduating from Fordham University School of Law in 2007. During his time at the firm, Stephen has litigated complex commercial, fiduciary, bankruptcy, and business disputes in various Federal and state courts in New York and elsewhere. Stephen also has served as an Adjunct Professor at Fordham University School of Law and Seton Hall University School of Law, teaching both survey and advanced courses on fiduciary disputes and alternative dispute resolution.

"We are thrilled to welcome Stephen to the partnership. His promotion broadens the firm's depth in business and financial services litigation," said Mark Indelicato, Managing Partner. "We are particularly proud of his accomplishments in broadening the firm's fiduciary litigation practice.
