Partner Barbara Shaheen Alesi Named in the Long Island Business News’ Listing of “Who’s Who in Women in Professional Services”.
LIBN: “Who’s Who in Women in Professional Services” 8/31/07

Mineola, August 31, 2007 — Partner Barbara Shaheen Alesi is featured in the Long Island Business News’ listing of "Who's Who in Women in Professional Services." In the article, Ms. Alesi discusses a recent rise in purchaser scrutiny in connection with the sale and purchase of businesses.

“There has been heightened scrutiny by purchasers during the due diligence period and the time frame in which due diligence is conducted has been lengthened,” Alesi explained. “Purchasers are paying particular attention to “contingent liabilities”, which may surface after closing of the transaction, such as litigation claims, creditor claims, disputes with vendors/customers, product liability issues, environmental claims and potential tax claims.”

A graduate of St. John’s University School of Law, Ms. Alesi concentrates her practice in corporate and commercial matters, including mergers and acquisitions, commercial real estate transactions, private placements of securities, and mortgage and asset-based financing. She is a member of the New York State Bar Association, where she has been a guest speaker on the topic of "Forming and Advising Business Entities," and the Nassau County Bar Association, where she serves on the Corporation Law Committee. Ms. Alesi has served as Chairperson on the National Advisory Board of North Shore Animal League America, Executive Board Member of the National Association of Women Business Owners-LI and on the membership committee of the Executive Women's Golf Association. She has twice been recognized as one of Long Island’s “Top 50 Women” by the Long Island Business News.
