James Duffy - Attorney Profile
|
For more than 40 years, I have specialized in business, banking, commercial and financial transactions that cross an international border. Many of my clients are or have been very large, well-known, banks, investment banks, corporations, and high net-worth individuals.
I am admitted to practice in Monaco and opened an office for my firm there in 1985. I also opened an office for my firm in Mexico City several years later.
I am very active in the New York State Bar Association. Until recently, I served as a member of its House of Delegates, the governing body for the NYSBA. I was also a founder and a past Chair of the International Law and Practice Section of the NYSBA. I am also a member of the NYSBA's Cross-Border Practice Committee, the committee of the NYSBA that interacts with foreign bar associations and the Committee on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar.
