Steven S. Rand has been a partner at ZEK and its predecessor firm since 1985. Steve specializes in commercial litigation in such diverse fields as creditor's rights, complex real estate matters (including commercial foreclosures and title disputes), banking law, (including matters arising under Uniform Commercial Code Articles 3 and 4, and credit losses resulting from fraud or operating errors), as well as insurance and reinsurance matters.

Steve has appeared on behalf of many of the largest corporate and financial institutions in the country and has acted as lead counsel for ZEK in connection with on-going, and thus far, highly successful efforts to recover multi-million dollar obligations due to the former Bank of Credit and Commerce, S.A. in the tri-state area, both on behalf of the Superintendent of Banks of the State of New York and on behalf of the Trustee appointed by the United States Department of Justice.

Steve is currently lead counsel in defense of a lender liability action brought by a Florida developer, seeking damages in excess of $160 million, against a large commercial lender.
