Gersten Savage Names Peter Gennuso Partner

NEW YORK, February 15, 2008 – Gersten Savage LLP, one of New York's top five independent law firms, has named Peter Gennuso partner.  He joined Gersten Savage as an associate in 2004.

Gennuso specializes in corporate law, with a particular focus on public and private corporate finance and securities regulation.  His experience includes advising clients on the regulatory process associated with the registration of securities offerings, general corporate matters and issues involving Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) matters and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.   

"We are pleased to announce that Pete has been elected a partner of the firm.  Pete has made an invaluable contribution to Gersten Savage in the years he has been with us," said Jay Kaplowitz, founding partner. 

A graduate of Iona College, Gennuso earned his J.D. as well as an M.B.A. in finance from Pace University.  He is admitted to the bar in the state of New York.

Kaplowitz said that Gersten Savage works to mentor its associates so they can develop their practices and careers within the firm, noting that Gennuso is the first associate to have had the opportunity to take advantage of the firm's associate mentoring program.

"We mentor our associates so they can build their own business with us," he said.  "Within a few years, they can be running their own practices and in control of their destinies.  People can grow with us, especially if they feel confined in larger firms."

With about 50 employees, Gersten Savage specializes in securities regulation, corporate law and finance.  The firm has a diverse international practice that also includes litigation, tax, bankruptcy, real estate and intellectual property.
