Mr de Blasio, who will be sworn in tomorrow, said that no other post in his administration had attracted as much attention as that of the new corporation counsel. He said: 'It became very clear to me that there was no one more qualified in all of New York City to play this role than Zach Carter.' Mr Carter is currently a partner in Dorsey & Whitney, chairing its white collar crime and civil fraud practice. 

Least advantaged

Speaking of his new boss, Mr Carter said: 'Both of us believe that prosperity and access to opportunity should be broadly shared, and that we have failed as a society when we do not meet the meet the needs of the least advantaged among us'. Source: NY1
