NEW YORK CITY–Connell Foley has hired Vincent Torna and Frank Cara—both considered leaders in regulatory, compliance and litigation issues related to complex infrastructure projects—as partners in charge of the firm's New York construction law practice.

Torna specializes in construction and public contracting law, including representation of contractors, subcontractors and developers in litigation involving bridges, tunnels, subways, roadways, water treatment plants, schools, and residential and commercial high rises.
