New York Law Journal Names Vincent Levy a 2017 Rising Star

New York—Holwell Shuster & Goldberg LLP partner Vincent Levy has been named a 2017 Rising Star by the New York Law Journal. Vince is one of 30 attorneys under the age of 40 to be recognized on this year’s list for his contributions to the practice of law and the New York legal community.

Since becoming a partner last year, Vince has represented bondholders in high profile litigation surrounding Argentina’s debt default; represents Uzbekistan in a U.S. forfeiture proceeding involving $1 billion; represents French industrial company Alstom in litigation and arbitration against GE; and represents Valassis Communications, Inc., a MacAndrews & Forbes company, as plaintiff in an antitrust and unfair competition suit against News Corp. and its subsidiaries.
