Words cannot express the devastation we feel that our beloved colleague, Wesley LePatner, was among those who lost their lives in the tragic incident at 345 Park Avenue. We are also deeply saddened by the loss of the other innocent victims, including brave security personnel and NYPD.

Wesley was brilliant, passionate, warm, generous, and deeply respected within our firm and beyond. She embodied the best of Blackstone. Our prayers are with her husband, children, parents and family.
