New York commercial-based law firm Hahn & Hessen promoted Stephen J. Grable to partner in its commercial litigation group. Grable will also assume the role of vice-chair of the firm’s Fiduciary Litigation Practice Group where he will be responsible for representing fiduciaries in both affirmative and defensive litigation throughout the U.S.

Grable joined the firm as an associate in 2007. During his time in that position, he has litigated complex commercial, fiduciary, bankruptcy and business disputes in various federal and state courts in New York and elsewhere. Grable also has served as an adjunct professor at Fordham University School of Law and Seton Hall University School of Law, teaching both survey and advanced courses on fiduciary disputes and alternative dispute resolution.

“We are thrilled to welcome Stephen to the partnership. His promotion broadens the firm’s depth in business and financial services litigation,” said Mark Indelicato, managing partner. “We are particularly proud of his accomplishments in broadening the firm’s fiduciary litigation practice. Stephen represents the very best of Hahn & Hessen, exhibiting exceptional talent and a tireless commitment to our clients.”
