Prior to joining the firm, Nick was an economic development executive in Nassau County and practiced law at a leading Long Island-based law firm.

During his time working in government and in the private sector, Nick negotiated and closed numerous multi-million-dollar incentive packages that stimulated hundreds of millions of dollars of real estate development and economic impact throughout New York State. He also appeared on PBS’s Long Island Business Report, a weekly half-hour program that provides an in-depth look at what needs to be done to make Long Island a more dynamic place to live and work by exploring the economic and business trends that impact the nearly 3 million people who call Nassau and Suffolk counties home.
