On March 9, 2010, Robert Ganz and Conor Brownell conducted a seminar about practical considerations for debtors and creditor in collections.  The seminar was sponsored by the Albany County Bar Association.  This seminar concerned the practical applications of collections law for a non-bankrupt client with creditors after him/her.   The seminar addressed questions about what happens when someone is trying to collect on a debt, what the creditor can and cannot do, what the creditor knows, and what methods or tactics are most useful in negotiating.

        We are continuing our long-term partnership with Trinity Institute in order to simultaneously recycle our aluminum cans and help a worthy charity. We have also selected a shredding and recycling provider that ensures that our paper is recycled into new paper goods locally. Such local recycling reduces our carbon footprint by alleviating the need to have pulp shipped to a faraway plant in order to be reconfigured into useful paper products
