While practicing law at Dreyer & Traub, Steve Witkoff represented some of the city’s top real estate players — and often yearned to be seated at the opposite side of the table.
“It was a who’s who list of real estate entrepreneurs in the city of New York,” Witkoff said during an exclusive one-on-one sit-down with The Real Deal’s Hiten Samtani. “So you couldn’t help as a young lawyer wanting to do what they did.”
In the interview, Witkoff recounted his earliest memories of Howard Lorber, who would pull up to the law firm’s headquarters in a “cream-colored, drop-top Rolls-Royce.”
