As the new general counsel for the Connecticut Republican Party, Michael Goldfarb sees the volunteer position as something beyond politics. Even though he supports the GOP in the state and is chairman of the Connecticut Young Republicans, the Murtha Cullina trial lawyer said his assignment is simply to advise his client on matters of law. In that way, he said, being the GC for the GOP is very much like being an in-house lawyer for a corporation.
“My business litigation experience translates into this job in many ways, since political parties operate like businesses,” Goldfarb said. “There are contracts, employment issues and laws regarding organizational governance, just like in any business.”
