Welcome Ehsan Ali to MLC! (And Welcome MLC to New York City!)

I could not be happier to announce that we have another new attorney to announce: Ehsan Ali, who is licensed in New York, based in New York City, and joining us in an Of Counsel role.

Ehsan brings so much great experience to the firm that will only make us stronger. Ehsan has years of experience as litigator and runs his own mediation practice at Venn Mediation, which makes him a terrific resource for helping our clients navigate contentious situations productively. Ehsan has also spent years as outside general counsel to a wide variety of businesses, helping them identify practical solutions and strategies for growth, so he will be a vital resource on a wide range of non-profit transactional matters. Over the next few months, that role will expand as we develop a social enterprise practice, through which we will support for-profit clients doing meaningful adjacent to or collaboration with the non-profit sector (more to follow soon!). And most importantly, Ehsan shares our vision for being a leading and cost-effective resource for private foundations and public charities throughout the country, which will always be at the core of what we do.

Speaking of which, we are also announcing our presence in New York City. We look forward to taking meetings at our new office on the 9th floor of 14 Penn Plaza (225 West 34th Street, New York, NY) and getting to better know the nonprofit sector in the NYC metropolitan area.

Lastly, from a personal perspective, it is immensely satisfying to be able to announce great attorneys like Ehsan Ali and Jennifer Hubbard joining us, and a physical presence in three cities with robust nonprofit sectors before we are even five months old. And there are more exciting developments to come — all thanks to the clients who give us the opportunity to support them as they carry out their missions. We are incredibly grateful.
