About Andrew
Andrew Finkiel finished law school in a time of rapid change. He earned his J.D. from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in 2019 and entered the legal profession as the pandemic era reshaped courtrooms and client needs. The Cardozo education is the clearest public marker of his legal training.
After graduation, Finkiel moved into practice. Public records list his academic credential and graduation year, but do not attach him to a particular clerkship or firm in the material provided here. His early years in the profession coincided with a period when many younger lawyers adapted to remote hearings, evolving procedural rules and shifting client expectations. Those conditions shaped how many recent alumni approached the work of advising and representing clients.
The path from law school to practice often varies. Some lawyers pursue litigation, others join in-house legal teams, and some focus on transactional work or regulatory matters. The available information for Finkiel identifies his legal education and the year he graduated, and does not specify earlier positions or notable cases. That leaves the professional record centered on his credentials and the context in which he began practicing law.
Colleagues and clients typically look for details such as bar admission, published opinions or participation in professional organizations. Those items can offer a clearer picture of an attorney's areas of emphasis and public activity. In this instance, the public record supplied here emphasizes education while leaving other professional milestones unlisted. Even so, many attorneys who graduated in 2019 built up experience across courts and client matters in the ensuing years.
As of 2026 Finkiel remains an active member of the legal profession. He approaches his work informed by a Cardozo law school education and the practical challenges that have defined the last several years for newer attorneys. His current practice focus reflects the matters he has taken on since completing law school in 2019 and the professional direction he has pursued in the years that followed.
