| More law firm leases are stirring at Silverstein Property's Downtown 120 Broadway building. The law firm of Kaufman Borgeest & Ryan LLP takes 48,161 sf at the building, known as the Equitable Building. The lease was for the entire 14th floor of the building. Howard Greenberg, president of Howard Properties Ltd., was the exclusive tenant representative for Kaufman Borgeest & Ryan, in partnership with Barry Lewen and Lewis Cowan of Grubb & Ellis. This was the 13th lease transaction in which Greenberg had represented the law firm since 2000, totaling more than 126,000 sf of space. Cowan tells GlobeSt.com that the lease term is 15 years. He notes that in terms of economics, it was a competitive market deal, but he could not provide an aggregate lease value at this time. He did confirm however, that asking rent is around $45 at the property.
Cowan also explains that the reason for the move was a value play. "They could get much more for their dollar within the framework of the transaction." Kaufman Borgeest & Ryan was approaching the expiration of a lease for 26,000 sf in Midtown at 99 Park Ave. |

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
