From Small Start-Ups to Big Business, Attorney Joey Nussbaum Finds his Niche

For someone who wasn’t sure what he wanted to do profes-sionally until his senior year

of college, Joey Nussbaum ’94YC, seems to have managed just fine.

“I majored in English but didn’t really know what kind of career I wanted to pursue, and then someone suggested that I take the LSAT,” said Nussbaum, who ended up attending Harvard Law School. “That suggestion worked out pretty well for me.”

One thing that Nussbaum, a Chicago native, was clear about was his intention to attend Yeshiva University. “I come from a long line of people who attended YU,

starting with my grandfather, Rabbi Gersion Appel ’38YC, ’41BR, ’45R, z”l,” said Nussbaum. “Attending YU just makes sense for a Modern Orthodox family who cares about Jewish learning on a higher education level, in addition to excellent secular studies.”

Nussbaum fondly recalled his wonderful rebbeim, English classes with Dr. Joanne Jacobson and Dr. Joan Haar and Hebrew courses with Dr. Samuel Schneider; the close friends he made; his time working at the Commentator, Yeshiva College’s newspaper; and intramural basketball.

After graduating from Harvard in 1997, Nussbaum accepted a position at the law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, where he had been a summer associate, and worked there for two-and-a-half years. “I soon got the itch that many associates get—to do something outside the realm of a corporate law firm,” said Nussbaum. “Being young and single, I figured there was no better time to try an opportunity elsewhere.”

That opportunity came at Comstellar Technologies, a start-up tech com-pany that created cutting-edge hardware, software and service solutions, where he served as director of corporate development, which led to more than 10 years at different technology start-ups. After a year at Comstellar, he went on to Leap-stone, where he served as in-house counsel and directed both corporate develop-ment and legal affairs for seven years. He then joined LightSquared, a wireless broadband company where he spent three years working as director of com-mercial transactions. In 2012, he became the assistant general counsel at Time Warner Inc., a global leader in media and entertainment with businesses in television networks, film and publishing—offering a professional environment

vastly different than a corporate law firm or start-up. Nussbaum, who thrives on the stimulating and “from-the-ground-up” atmo-

sphere that exists in start-ups, said his biggest fear was that Time Warner would be “a real corporate bureaucracy with all the associated politics that go with it.” To his relief, he found that it wasn’t like that at all. “I’m in a group within Time Warner that’s made up of about 700 people, so it’s not too huge, but I can still take advantage of the resources and opportunities that come along with being a part of a major company,” Nussbaum said.

A day at the Time Warner headquarters in Manhattan is typically filled with drafting and negotiating a wide variety of commercial agreements, such as software licenses, health and welfare contracts and professional services agree-ments. “I work for a very diverse client base, so I never really know what will come up or what kinds of things I’ll have to deal with in a given day,” he said. “It keeps things interesting.”

The job does come with its challenges, such as “managing attorneys when I hadn’t managed anyone before,” said Nussbaum. “But overall, it’s a positive career development and much more stable, which is important now that I’m married and have a child.”

Nussbaum said that his experience there has been overwhelmingly posi-tive and that the company is very accommodating of employees who are trying to balance their professional and home lives.

Nussbaum’s wife, Tamar Kaplan-Marans, is an attorney at WilmerHale. They describe the balancing act they do to manage their busy jobs and raise their 2-year-old, Harry, as challenging but workable.

“My wife actually works longer hours than I do, since I can usually leave my office by 6:30,” said Nussbaum. “When I need to take a day off or come in late, my office is very understanding. I can also work remotely from home.”

Nussbaum recognizes the different market that now exists for young law-yers, as opposed to when he was a new Harvard graduate. “It’s tough out there,” he said. “It used to be an asset to have a law degree no matter which professional field you wanted to pursue, but employers don’t look at it the same way today.”

Still, Nussbaum said, if you have a passion for the law, you should pursue it. “There are jobs out there, and networking is a must,” he said. “YU students are lucky that they have a great Career Center and a huge network of lawyers to tap into. I am always happy to speak with students and offer my perspective to them.”

Nussbaum’s family tradition of attending Yeshiva University continues through his nieces and nephews, many of whom are current students or grad-uates. Nussbaum and his wife are proud to support YU and contribute to its Annual Fund.

“YU is an incredible institution with an incredibly important mission, and ultimately, I think it achieves its goal like no other,” he said. “It continually turns out a very impressive product, and I am proud to be associated with it.” n
