Partner Thomas J. Garry, chairman of the firm’s Management Committee, has been listed among this year’s Long Island Business News’s prestigious list of law influencers.
The 2026 LIBN list of law influencers recognizes attorneys who exemplify legal excellence, community leadership and commitment to advancing the legal profession on Long Island. Tom, also the firm’s Long Island office managing partner, has received this honor three times.
The Long Island Business News article introducing the list notes “This year’s list of Long Island Law Influencers reflects a profession as varied as the region it serves. The attorneys profiled here practice across commercial litigation, real estate and land use, trusts and estates, employment law, tax certiorari, elder law, criminal defense, bankruptcy and municipal law, among other specialties — a reminder that “legal services” on Long Island covers a diverse ground.”
Tom’s LIBN profile calls him “an attorney leader in economic development and public finance on Long Island and across downstate New York. Garry and his team have played key roles in many of the major development projects that have shaped Long Island. He advises clients on major expansion projects in energy, healthcare and other industries.”
