ZOE FANCOIS
PASTRY CHEF, BAKER, COOKBOOK AUTHOR, TV PERSONALITY
“Transitioning from being a pastry chef and cookbook author into television and other kinds of sponsorship roles was a tricky area of growth for my business. Luckily, I had Adam (of KB&G) to advise me as I navigated through negotiating agent agreements and producer contracts and such. It was enormously helpful to know that Adam was always out there, watching my back.”

“Adam's assistance has been instrumental in opening our restaurants in Rwanda and growing the business into the premiere luxury boutique hotel in Kigali. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the hospitality industry, he also has deep experience in doing business in Africa. Now, as we contemplate further growth, Adam has assisted us with joint venture agreements, development due diligence and the all-important hotel management agreements.”

NEAL FRASER
CHEF AND RESTAURATEUR
“Adam has been a part of my growth as a restaurateur from the very beginning. In fact, we were roommates at chef school. He’s the reason we didn’t get our security deposit back. Someday I’m going to name a cocktail after him. It’ll involve tequila with nothing else on, as that is largely how he drank it in our apartment.”

CHRISTOPHER PUGLIESE
BRAND FOUNDER AND CEO
“Adam has been my lawyer since the very early days of Tompkins Square Bagels, when we had just the one store on Avenue A (we’re now at four stores, and growing). He has been an enormous help to me in managing my relationships with my investors, helping to protect my intellectual property and negotiating deals and contracts with landlords and vendors.”

MASSIMILLIANO “CHICCO”NANNI
CHEF AND RESTAURATEUR
“Se fai affari a New York devi avere un buon avvocato, altrimenti non riuscirai mai ad aprirti, non ce la farai mai. Sono molto fortunato ad aver incontrato Adam che non solo sa molto di ristoranti, legge e fare affari qui, ma è anche molto facile da contattare al telefono e con cui parlare quando ho una domanda o ho bisogno di consigli.”
