Reflections on Law, Business, Football, and More

Latham & Watkins Forum at NYU School of Law Wednesday, November 15, 2017 Greenberg Lounge, Vanderbilt Hall Building on tax expertise he gained at NYU Law, Stephen M. Ross LLM '66 became a pioneer in the affordable housing business and then broadened into the development of a variety of major real estate projects. With the Hudson Yards project on Manhattan’s West Side, The Related Companies, which Ross founded and chairs, is now overseeing the largest private real estate development in US history and the largest development in New York City since Rockefeller Center. Along the way, Ross has picked up a football team (the Miami Dolphins) and received numerous honors for his business, civic, and philanthropic activities. Ross’s longtime friend and adviser Martin Edelman has combined a sophisticated law practice with strategic counseling to an extraordinarily broad range of clients and entities, ranging from the US military and military families to business and government leaders in the Middle East and elsewhere around the globe. At this Forum, Dean Trevor Morrison engaged Ross and Edelman in a discussion about their careers, as well as important social and policy issues they currently contend with in real estate, sports, and domestic and global politics. Moderator: Trevor Morrison, Dean and Eric M. and Laurie B. Roth Professor of Law Panelists: Martin Edelman, Senior Of Counsel, Paul Hastings Stephen M. Ross '66, Chairman, The Related Companies
