January 24, 2007
Steven G. Nachimson, Senior Corporate Counsel of Compass Group USA Rye Brook, has been named the new chair of the 1,600 member Corporate Counsel Section of the New York State Bar Association. Compass Group USA is the American division of the world’s largest foodservice company.

Mr. Nachimson manages contractual, regulatory, and general corporate matters for Chartwells, Compass’ educational dining sector based in Rye Brook, New York, and for other Compass sectors operating in the business dining industry.

Mr. Nachimson received his law degree from SUNY Buffalo School of Law, and his undergraduate degree from Vassar College.

Active in New York State Bar Association activities, Mr. Nachimson has been a member of the Corporate Counsel Section’s Executive Committee since 2000, and became Chair-Elect in January 2006. He has also served as Chairperson of the Section’s CLE and Meetings Committee, as well as Treasurer of the Section. Mr. Nachimson has chaired and organized the Section’s highly successful annual presentation of “Ethics for Corporate Counsel”.

The Corporate Counsel Section is one of 23 sections of the NYSBA. These groups publish material dealing with their fields of expertise, much of which is not available through commercial publishers. Sections also sponsor conferences, seminars and institutes, monitor legislation and conduct studies. Each of the sections contributes to policy-making, both in their subject areas and Association-wide. They originate many of the recommendations that become NYSBA policy positions and act as checks and balances of other entities.
