New York City Hall’s chief counsel, Lisa Zornberg, resigned from her post in Mayor Eric Adams’s administration, City Hall announced late Saturday night.
Zornberg has served as the top lawyer for Adams and City Hall since July 2023.
Neither Adams nor Zornberg provided an explanation for her departure in their respective statements sent by City Hall.
“We appreciate all the work Lisa has done for our administration and, more importantly, the city over the past 13 months. These are hard jobs, and we don’t expect anyone to stay in them forever. We wish Lisa all the best in her future endeavors,” Adams said in his statement.
“The other senior members of the counsel’s team will remain in their roles to ensure the office continues to fully operate without issue, and we expect to name an acting chief counsel in the coming days,” he continued.
Zornberg’s statement read, “I am deeply grateful to Mayor Adams for giving me the opportunity to serve the city, and I strongly support the work he has done and continues to do for New Yorkers.”
