Ex-judge on top N.Y. court joins law firm in Albany
ALBANY— A judge who recently left New York’s highest court has joined a law firm as a partner in its Albany office.
Harris Beach says Judge Victoria Graffeo will lead its alternative dispute resolution practice group and work in its government compliance and investigations, appellate litigation and advocacy and commercial litigation groups.
Graffeo, a Republican, was appointed in 2000 to the Court of Appeals by then Gov. George Pataki and authored more than 250 majority opinions. Her 14-year term expired.
