LIBN Award is Alesi’s Second
Mineola, May 07, 2005 — Attorney, Barbara Shaheen
Alesi, a resident of Glen Cove, NY, and partner at the Mineola-based
law firm of Forchelli, Curto, Schwartz, Mineo, Carlino &
Cohn LLP, has been named one of Long Island’s Top
50 Women for 2005. This is the second time Ms. Alesi has
been selected by The Long Island Business News for this
prestigious distinction. She first earned a Top 50 Women
of Long Island award in 2001.
“I am proud to take my place with the other 49 women
who contribute to the quality of our lives here on Long
Island,” said Alesi. “I am grateful to Long
Island Business News for this recognition and the Awards
Dinner promises to be a terrific night with family, friends
and colleagues.”
The Top 50 Women of Long Island Awards Committee reviews
nominations submitted by small and large businesses, professional
firms, and associations before electing its roster of businesswomen
for recognition. The Committee’s criteria are based
not only on contributions to the economy, but also personal
contributions to Long Island’s community affairs.
Barbara Shaheen Alesi, the first female partner at Forchelli,
Curto, Schwartz, Mineo, Carlino & Cohn LLP, concentrates
her practice in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, corporate
and commercial matters, including commercial real estate
transactions, private placements of securities and mortgage
and asset-based financing.
Alesi earned her J.D. at St. John’s University School
of Law after attending college at the State University of
New York at Geneseo, graduating magna cum laude. Upon graduation
she worked at major law firms before joining with Anthony
Curto and Anthony Barton to form the Huntington-based firm,
Curto Barton & Alesi, P.C.
In 1999, CB&A incorporated their practice areas into
the prominent land use and zoning practice firm, Forchelli,
Schwartz, Mineo, Carlino & Cohn to create today’s
full-service law firm, Forchelli, Curto, Schwartz, Mineo,
Carlino & Cohn LLP. The Firm has been distinguished
with the Huntington Chamber Regional Partnership Award of
Excellence and consistently appears in annual “Who’s
Who” lists.
Alesi is the recipient of honors from the National Association
of Women Business Owners, the Executive Women’s Golf
Association, and Long Island Business News. She is an expert
source, bylining articles for BusinessLI and Nassau Lawyer,
and has appeared as a panelist for News12 At Issue, among
other media. She is a volunteer presenter for panels informing
the public on critical matters.
Alesi is active in civic and not-for-profit organizations,
serving as chair of the North Shore Animal League President’s
Advisory Board, a Board Member and Secretary of the National
