Kramer Levin Obtains Name Change for Transgender Client

In July 2020, Litigation associate Seth F. Schinfeld, with assistance from Managing Clerk Liliya Suris, successfully petitioned the Civil Court of the City of New York for a legal name change for O.D., a transgender client referred to the firm by the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund (TLDEF).  O.D (pronouns: they/them/theirs) was assigned female at birth but identifies as gender non-binary.  O.D. worked closely with the Kramer Levin team to facilitate their name change and is excited to be recognized by their chosen name.
