It is a great privilege and honor to practice law with Governor Mario Cuomo at our firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher. Governor Cuomo and I have adjacent offices at Willkie, and we started to get to know each other through the exchange of simple pleasantries.

However, over time, our discussions have expanded, ranging from philosophy (including the writings of one of his favorites, Teilhard de Chardin) to baseball, and not surprisingly, the law. Governor Cuomo is always interested in contemporary legal issues and the matters that I or others at Willkie are handling. That intellectual curiosity is one of the traits that famously distinguishes him and which has, I think, strongly contributed to his ongoing success.
