New York practice has doubled in size over the past two years amid rising demand, residential development, and new building regulations

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Moritt Hock & Hamroff, a New York-headquartered commercial law firm, today announced that Parag Parekh has joined the firm as a partner in its expanding Condominium & Cooperative Services (“Condo & Co-Op”) practice. He will be based in the firm’s Midtown Manhattan office, led by Partner David Fitzhenry.

“Moritt Hock & Hamroff is recognized as having one of the premier Condo & Co-Op practices in New York, led by a highly respected team, and it was the right choice for the next phase of my career,” said Parekh. “I’m excited to join the firm and help contribute to its continued success.”

Previously a partner at Schwartz Sladkus Reich Greenberg Atlas, Parekh brings more than 15 years of experience advising boards and representing developers, purchasers, sellers, and investors in commercial and residential real estate matters.

Serving a growing roster of New York City clients, the team advises co-op and condominium boards, developers, unit owners, tenants, and lenders on a wide variety of matters, including construction contracts, litigation, financings, and regulatory filings. Its attorneys also hold leadership roles in both state and local bar associations, as well as regional and national real estate organizations including the Construction Law Society of America and the American College of Real Estate Lawyers.
