She is a member of the American Arbitration Association Roster of Neutrals, holds an “AV” ® Preeminent™ Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, and has been selected to the Upstate New York Super Lawyers list since 2012. Kauffman has served as counsel to the Albany County Business Development Corporation since 2013. She is a graduate of Union College and Albany Law School.
“For decades, Nolan & Heller has served clients throughout New York State and beyond, providing them with creative and innovative solutions to complex problems. I am extremely proud that the firm to which I have dedicated my entire career now bears my name, along with the names of its founders, Howard Nolan and Mark Heller, and that of his son, my fellow managing Partner Justin Heller,” said Kauffman.
Nolan Heller Kauffman moved from its offices at 39 North Pearl Street in Albany earlier this month and now occupies 7,000 square feet of office space on the 11th floor of 80 State St. in Albany. Its staff of 20 includes 15 attorneys and five support staff.
“We are thrilled to renew our commitment to maintaining our offices in downtown Albany, as we have for the past 55 years,” said Heller. “We have earned a reputation as one of the Capital Region’s top law firms – delivering Wall Street quality legal services and results – and we look forward to continuing to do so from our new location.”
