Included in the firm's new lease, which now extends until 2022, are two options for renewal as well as options for expansion.
"The Chrysler Center has been home to Mintz Levin since we opened our doors in New York almost ten years ago," said Stephen J.

"We are delighted to remain a part of the Chrysler Center community as we continue to build upon the success we have enjoyed here."
The Chrysler Center is managed by Tishman Speyer. The brokerage firm was Newmark Knight Frank.
