Adam P. Silvers

Managing Partner

Adam Silvers serves as the Managing Partner of Ruskin Moscou Faltischek, P.C., and is also a member of the firm’s Corporate & Securities Department, Veterinary Law Practice Group, Food & Beverage Practice Group, and the Intellectual Property and Technology Group.

Adam’s long record of accomplishments as a sophisticated corporate and securities attorney resulted in his being named a partner of the law firm in 2003; he is one of the youngest associates ever named as partner with the firm.

Adam regularly counsels both private and publicly-traded companies on a variety of legal issues. Over his career, Adam has successfully handled a wide range of complex transactions involving mergers and acquisitions, public offerings, private placements and venture capital financings, joint venture and partnership agreements, as well as software licensing and development agreements, among other areas.

As a young associate, he took on legal matters of increasingly complex nature, and, partly as a result of his prior employment as in-house counsel for a high-tech corporation, took on the task of spearheading and growing the firm’s Technology Practice Group.

Adam cofounded the CFO Roundtable in 2003, a by-invitation-only monthly gathering of CFOs from Long Island’s leading private companies. Through these meetings, CFOs share best practices and discuss mutual business challenges, while building meaningful professional relationships. In guiding the growth of this organization, Adam has fostered a stimulating and rewarding environment that encourages collaboration and long-term networking.

In recognition of his leadership and professional achievements, Adam has been honored by Long Island Business News with its 40 Under 40 award (2006) and was inducted into LIBN’s Hall of Fame in 2018. He has also been recognized on the City & State New York Long Island Power 100 List and by Long Island Business News as a Top 100 Long Islander, 60 Most Influential Long Islander, Most Influential Long Islander, Law Influencer, and Influencer in Law.

In addition, Adam serves on the Board of Directors of the Long Island Association and as its General Counsel. He was involved with the American Heart Association, having chaired their annual Long Island Heart Ball Gala. Adam also serves on the Executive Leadership Committee of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Long Island Light The Night Walk. He serves as Secretary on the Board of Directors of Fourleaf Federal Credit Union and previously served on its Board Supervisory Committee. Adam also previously served as both a board member and executive committee member of Child Abuse Prevention Services of Roslyn. In 2025, he was appointed to the Executive Committee for Long Island Light The Night and was named Corporate Walk Chair in 2026, reflecting his ongoing commitment to supporting meaningful causes on Long Island.

Adam is a member of the Nassau County Bar Association, and has also lectured before the Suffolk County Bar Association. Adam has been a featured lecturer at a number of CLE programs on topics ranging from corporate governance, executive compensation, securities matters as well as intellectual property and software licensing issues. Adam has written a number of articles, which have been published in the firm’s Corporate and Securities Update, including The Not-So-Quiet Period: How Statements During the Registration Period Can Halt an Initial Public Offering.
