About Ori
Ori Blum built his legal foundation at Brandeis University and then at Northwestern University School of Law, where he earned his J.D. The public university setting at Brandeis and the law school curriculum at Northwestern shaped his early approach to legal research and advocacy. He arrived in practice with both a liberal arts background and a formal legal education.
Early in his career Blum took a position at an international institution. In 2008 he served as a law clerk at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. That assignment exposed him to proceedings at a multinational tribunal and to the procedural demands of cross-border adjudication. It was an uncommon entry point for an American lawyer and one that added an international dimension to his résumé.
After his tribunal work he moved into private practice. By 2012 he was an associate at Kaye Scholer LLP in New York. At the firm he worked alongside litigators and transactional lawyers on matters based in the city. His time there combined the pace of large-firm practice with the analytical rigor he had used at the tribunal.
Blum is admitted to practice in New York. He has experience that spans institutional and firm environments. That mix has given him perspective on how large organizations handle complex matters and how individual lawyers manage casework and client relationships.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in approach and careful in preparation. He has handled documentary and procedural tasks that are common to both international proceedings and New York practice. That practical experience underpins the legal work he performs today.
Over the years Blum’s work has crossed different legal settings rather than staying confined to a single niche. He has navigated both the formal lines of an international tribunal and the commercial rhythms of a New York law firm. Those chapters of his career inform the way he approaches problems and advises clients.
He maintains an active practice in New York, drawing on his tribunal background and firm experience to address matters that involve both domestic and international legal issues.
