Moritt Hock & Hamroff Bolsters M&A and Tax Practice

Date: May 23, 2023 @ 07:11 AM

Moritt Hock & Hamroff announced the addition of three attorneys to its New York City and Garden City offices, illustrating the firm’s continued expansion and growth. The move bolsters its M&A and Tax practice areas with Michael B. Kaufman joining as a Partner and serving as Chair of the firm’s Tax Practice Group, Brian C. Daughney joining as a Partner in its Corporate, M&A and Securities Practice Group, and Murray D. Schwartz joining as Senior Counsel.  All three were formerly partners with Warshaw Burstein, LLP.

The announcement follows the recent expansion of the firm’s presence in Southeast Florida with the opening of a new office in the Fort Lauderdale metro area and hiring of four attorneys there.

"My partners and I are thrilled to welcome Brian, Michael and Murray to our firm," said Marc Hamroff, managing partner at Moritt Hock & Hamroff.  "Their additions strengthen our already growing presence in New York and their combined experience across multiple practice areas only further demonstrates our commitment to client satisfaction."

Kaufman has extensive experience providing clients with advice in connection with U.S. federal income taxes. He regularly assists clients with corporate and international tax matters and tax-free reorganizations and structuring international joint ventures and cross-border transactions, as well as partnership tax issues and fund formation and structuring. He also lends his expertise to tax-related matters in connection with mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, stock purchases and sales, asset purchases and sales, and debt and equity offerings.

Daughney serves as general counsel and a trusted advisor to clients, who benefit from his multidisciplinary experience.  He provides experienced guidance to his clients with respect to mergers and acquisitions, public and private securities offerings, general corporate law and broker-dealer regulation. He also represents issuers and investors in a wide range of corporate transactions, including securities offerings, seed capital offerings, venture capital financings and other forms of private equity investment, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and recapitalizations and spin-outs. He previously served as the Mayor of the Village of Garden City from 2017-2019.

Schwartz brings over 40 years of experience handling all facets of complex corporate related matters, and 15 years of experience as a chief operating officer of a $700,000,000 media company. He serves several companies as their regular corporate counsel and provides advice on a myriad of issues, including real estate, employment, trademark and copyright licensing.

Moritt Hock & Hamroff is an 85+ attorney full service commercial law firm, founded in 1980, that provides a wide range of legal services to businesses, corporations and individuals worldwide from its offices in New York City, on Long Island and in Florida.
