“You are asked by a policyholder to obtain a certificate of liability insurance, which evidences the fact that an insurance policy has been written. You may even be asked to designate another party as an additional insured. In your capacity as broker or agent, you issue the certificate. But, then the certificate holder suffers a loss, submits a claim to the insurance company, and learns that it is not actually covered under the policy as an additional insured. You are now a defendant in a lawsuit for, among other things, failing to adequately procure insurance.”
Gabay & Bowler spoke at Kineret Atlantic Beach Hadassah, “Empowering Women in Careers.” December 2007
“The glass ceiling … the “old boy” network … work/life balance challenges: Women certainly know how it feels to have to fight for their share of legal business, and sometimes to fight for the very existence of their legal careers. If pressed, undoubtedly any woman attorney could come up with a litany of reasons why she cannot be a rainmaker or proactive networker, ranging from responsibilities at home to discrimination or being underestimated in terms of capabilities by bosses or clients, both male and female.”
Gabay spoke at Brooklyn Law School, Class on Professionalism. August 2007
“Have you ever heard of the Statute of Frauds? It refers to a section of New York law that requires certain types of agreements to be in writing. The name comes from an old English law enacted to prevent fraud and abuse.”

“As businesses owned by women grow, so, it appears, do their reasons for wanting to do business with other women. Sari Gabay-Rafiy, 33, a New York lawyer, and her partner, Anne-Marie Bowler, 32, left the law firm Proskauer Rose and founded Gabay-Rafiy & Bowler because they wanted autonomy, flexibility and to work on their own terms. They belong to Ladies Who Launch and have advertised on the site.
“There is just something about woman-to-woman legal advice,” Ms. Gabay-Rafiy said. “We’re never condescending. We explain things in plain English. And when I’m on the phone with a client launching a business from her basement who keeps apologizing because a baby is crying in the background, I just get it. I have two kids myself and I know what it’s like.”
