Former Adams’ staffer left to lobby, raising specter of conflict of interest Michael Gartland A former employee of Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams was working as a lobbyist for at least one company that had business before the BP’s office, almost immediately after he left his job with Adams — creating the potential for a conflict of interest. Joel Eisdorfer, who began working for Adams during his days in the state Senate and who continued working for him in Borough Hall, acted as a lobbyist for New York Capital Group LLC, where he’s worked from 2016 to 2021. In all those years except 2017, Eisdorfer was the sole lobbyist at the firm, according to records kept by the city Clerk’s Office.
