Peckar & Abramson, P.C. (P&A) is pleased to announce that Jerry P. Brodsky, a partner in the firm’s Miami office and Director of the firm’s Latin American Practice Group, has successfully taken the lead on developing a first-of-its-kind Dispute Board Program for the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, being held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
