Izzy Cohn

I worked at various private sector law firms for several years, with a focus on financial transactions. The work was interesting, but I knew I wanted to make more of an impact. My role at NYCEDC combines the complexity and challenge of corporate transactional work with a nonprofit, public service mission. It’s very rewarding.

I joined NYCEDC's legal team in August 2016. While no two days are alike, I spend most of my time advising my colleagues on legal issues that arise during a project, as well as reviewing, negotiating, and drafting transaction documents.
