New York, NY – January 10, 2020 – Greenspoon Marder is proud to announce that Harlan Greenman (of counsel) has joined the New York City Bar’s working group that is coordinating with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee concerning potential New York State legislation to address the post-end of LIBOR interest rate determination for legacy loans lacking clear and effective contractual provisions. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC) is a group of private-market participants convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the New York Fed to help ensure a successful transition from U.S. dollar (USD) LIBOR to a more robust reference rate, its recommended alternative, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The ARRC is comprised of a diverse set of private-sector entities that have an important presence in markets affected by USD LIBOR and a wide array of official-sector entities, including banking and financial sector regulators, as ex-officio members.
