Steven Kurtz Joins Stubbs Alderton & Markiles to Launch Finance Practice

Kurtz brings a career defined by a hybrid of transactional work and litigation. His background includes founding Levinson Arshonsky Kurtz & Komsky LLP, where he balanced commercial finance structuring with bankruptcy and creditors' rights litigation.
