Albert Rizzo, Esq. GLC Partners provides its services and consultation under the guidance and management of Albert Rizzo. Mr. Rizzo received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Fordham University in 1984 and his Juris Doctorate from Fordham University School of Law in 1987. He is an experienced practicing attorney in New York and is a member of the American Trial Lawyers Association, the New York State Bar Association and the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, where he has lectured for, and served on, the Lawyers in Transition Committee. He is also a qualified member of the New York City Bar Association’s Legal Referral Business and Corporations Panel, the Employment and Labor Panel and Real Estate Panel. He has been a featured columnist of the Outside Counsel column of the New York Law Journal and has appeared on television discussing issues of sexual harassment in the workplace. Mr. Rizzo is admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States and the Federal and State courts of New York.

Prior to establishing his own law practice in 1996, Mr. Rizzo was an attorney at a small Wall Street firm for nine years where he gained extensive training and experience in the areas of corporate and securities transactions and commercial litigation. His experience enabled him to develop the skills necessary to represent a diverse clientele accustomed to a sophisticated legal practice and the Wall Street tradition of quality legal representation.

While he still maintains his law practice for select clients, Mr. Rizzo established GLC Partners to render legal services and assistance in a non-traditional way to small and mid-size businesses doing business in New York. Too many of his clients required quality legal representation, but could not afford the premium that most clients pay for such representation. He therefore developed a strategy for resolving and addressing general, day-to-day legal problems and issues with “an ounce of prevention” so that he could provide quality representation on a flat fee basis that was affordable to his clients. This has become the focus of GLC Partners.
