The Filler Institute, launched in May 2021, is named in honor of distinguished Professor Emeritus Ronald H. Filler, a global leader in the financial services industry.

The Institute provides opportunities for students to gain expertise in financial services, while garnering hands-on skills regarding transactions, finance, agreement negotiation, and structure. Through the Institute, New York Law School will expand financial services externship opportunities for students and add a specialized financial services concentration to the curriculum. Its growing course offerings will concentrate on asset management, banking, capital markets, and international regulation. The Institute’s projects will also include developing timely master classes, CLEs, and specialty programs with top industry leaders; and collaborating on creative initiatives with NYLS’s other business law programs.

Professor Howard Meyers serves as the Institute’s Director.
