Negotiating for Michael Douglas, Wendy Williams, Tom Cruise and hundreds of other high-net-worth individuals over the past 35 years, Chinitz says she’s recently seen a dramatic rise in couples calling it quits later in life. In addition to post-55 splits, there also has been an increase in clients “turning to private judging, mediation and alternate dispute resolution (ADR) as the courts are suffering the effects of shutdowns caused by the pandemic.” Outside the office, Chinitz this year found herself speaking before New York state lawmakers about increasing the accountability of court-appointed guardians.

THIS YEAR, I’M THANKFUL FOR … “Being blessed with a grandchild, spending time with my family and enjoying good health.”

THE CASE I’M WATCHING MOST CLOSELY (THAT ISN’T MY OWN) IS … “Reproductive Freedom cases – the fallout from overturning Roe v. Wade.”
