For decades, Larry Lederman, 77, was one of the busiest corporate and mergers and acquisitions lawyers in the country, shaping major developments in corporate law such as “leveraged recapitalization” technique. He was chairman of the global corporate practice at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy for 14 years and a partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz for 17 years before that. The Brooklyn College and New York University School of Law graduate wrote a book about his experiences, “Tombstones: A Lawyer’s Tales From the Takeover Decades” (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, March 1992).

These days, however, his passions have led him far from corporate boardrooms. Now of counsel at Milbank, Lederman has become an accomplished landscape photographer and spends much of his time at the Bronx Botanical Garden, where he is a member of the board of advisers. His photographs are the centerpiece of the just-published “Magnificent Trees of the New York Botanical Garden (Monacelli/New York Botanical Garden, $50).
