(September 17, 2021, Woodbury, NY) — Kaufman Dolowich & Voluck, LLP (KD), a leading national law firm, today announced that Andrew L. Richards, chair of the firm’s Construction Practice, has been unanimously approved by the Subcontractors Trade Association’s (STA) Board of Directors as its General Counsel for a five-year term.

STA is New York’s leading association of union subcontractors representing its members in dealing with public agencies, authorities and private developers. Richards has been a member of the STA for more than 25 years. STA’s philosophy centers on dispute resolution between owners, general contractors, construction managers and subcontractors.  

“I have been a proud member of this association for more than two decades and am honored to be selected as its General Counsel,” said Richards. “My goals are to assist STA in resolving issues with public agencies and promoting legislation that benefits union subcontractors.”

“The STA  looks forward to working with Andrew and his advocacy on behalf of our members in an ever-increasing regulatory environment that is hostile to the business interests of union construction subcontractors”, said Joseph Leo, President of the Board of Directors of the STA.
