Two attorneys who left their marks in very different ways on New York state government and public policy, lobbyist Lester Shulklapper and civil rights lawyer Robert Isseks, have died.
Shulklapper died Sunday at the Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He was 82.
Isseks died Monday in Middletown. He was 65.
Shulklapper
rose to prominence among Albany lobbyists at a time when their industry
expanded exponentially, with spending on lobbying state government and
the Legislature increasing to $243.1 million in 2015 from $5.7 million
in 1978, according to the state Joint Commission on Public Ethics. His
clients at the leading lobbying firms of Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker and at Shulklapper & Vacek included, at varying times in the 1970s through the 2000s, the New York Bankers Association, the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., the Healthcare Association of New York State, Consolidated Edison, Morgan Stanley and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
