Alex Herd, Counsel
Mr. Herd has been practicing law for the last ten years with one goal in mind: helping corporations and non-profit organizations grow while protecting their business operations through sound policies and procedures. Whether it’s getting a business up and running, facilitating growth, providing compliance guidance, dispute resolution or safeguarding operations, Mr. Herd’s legal experience provides value to organizations with a client-centered approach to legal services.
Alex has been with the Tendy Law Office since 2016 and has provided a broad range of legal services, including drafting corporate documents, overseeing board meetings, offering guidance regarding corporate compliance and resolving business disputes. Alex practices regularly before the New York Office of the Attorney General and the New York Courts, handling matters that range from submitting petitions for the sale of real property to complex civil litigation and Article 81 guardianship proceedings.
Alex has demonstrated his ability to be a thought leader in his field and has been published on topics such as why ethical practices are good for businesses and how clients can benefit from using outside general counsel services. He has also taught multiple Continuing Legal Education classes, on the topics such as petitioning the New York State Attorney General’s Office, structuring an outside general counsel practice and ethical considerations for promoting legal services through social media.
Prior to joining the Tendy Law Office, Alex graduated from American University Washington College of Law and went on to develop a well-rounded legal experience while working for boutique law firms in New York City and on Long Island providing both litigation and transactional work for a wide array of clients, typically to meet the needs of small businesses. Outside of legal work, Alex enjoys spending his time managing fantasy baseball teams, playing board games, vacationing with his wife, Carolyn and being a cat dad to a strange orange cat named Winnie.
