NEW YORK, March 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Murphy & McGonigle, a securities litigation and regulatory boutique law firm, announced today that it has taken a full floor at 1185 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan.  The law firm needed additional space to accommodate increasing demand for its services from clients in the financial services industry.  The firm represents domestic and foreign commercial banks, investment banks, securities broker/dealers, investment advisers, securities exchanges and hedge funds.

"We are seeing very strong demand for what we do," said James A. Murphy, Chairman of the firm. "We needed the additional space in New York to accommodate our expansion, but we will continue to maintain a high bar for talent as we grow.  We don't have any plans to try to become a mega-firm."

Effective March 27, 2014, the firm will consolidate its existing midtown and downtown offices into the new location at 1185 Avenue of the Americas, 21^st Floor.  The firm was represented in the lease transaction by Daniel L. Levine and David A. Falk of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank.
