Kreindler Following NYC Scaffolding Collapse

Kreindler attorneys are closely following the tragic, deadly collapse of sidewalk scaffolding in Midtown Manhattan on July 16, 2020. Initial reports indicate that the collapse was part of a chain-reaction that may have been instigated by a section of falling parapet.

A Better Way Forward . . .

There is a lot going on in our country. While we battle the spread of the Covid-19 virus, and struggle to return to some semblance of normalcy in our lives and our careers, we find ourselves at a crossroads with respect to racial equality. As a nation, our eyes have finally been opened to the disparate treatment that people of color experience every single day.

At Kreindler & Kreindler LLP, we are extremely proud of our long history of cultivating not only an inclusive workplace, but one where employees and clients of all races, religions, beliefs, abilities, sexual preferences, gender identities, ages, and political affiliations are treated equally and with respect. We believe, and have hope, that the movement sweeping the nation will result in better days ahead for our country and our world.

We will continue to stand against racism and injustice. We stand for diversity and inclusion. We stand with people everywhere who yearn for a better way forward.
