As you’ll have seen from our September 6th post, linked here, there have been some changes on the staff front here at Iler Campbell, including Brian Iler’s transition to counsel, Safia Lakhani and Michael Hackl’s entry into the partnership, and Celia Chandler’s departure.

In addition to those developments, we are pleased to announce that our most capable clerk, Hunter Stone, is now a paralegal. Hunter will be taking the lead on most of our Landlord and Tenant Board matters for co‑op and non‑profit clients, and assisting, as necessary, with your internal processes. We know you’ll enjoy working with Hunter if you haven’t already had the opportunity to do so!

And so it’s in that spirit of online communication, socialization, and sometimes fun, that we put together our look back at the year that felt like a continuation of the never ending year that was 2020. We are pleased to present: The Iler Campbell Office Chat Machine.
