Julie Globus graduated with honors from Skidmore College with an interdepartmental BA in Government and Philosophy in 1991. She then attended the One-Year Program with a grant from The Hebrew University of Mt. Scopus in Israel. During that year Julie worked for a history professor on translations of Aramaic texts from Elephantine Island. Following that year, in 1992, Julie was invited to complete her Masters with a scholarship from Hebrew University where she also worked as a research editor for the Maurice Falk Institute of Economic Research in Israel. In 1995 Julie earned her MA with distinction in Political Theory, studying mainly in Hebrew. In 1997 Julie earned her Juris Doctor from Rutgers Law School in Newark.
In 1998, Julie returned to Israel to practice as a foreign legal consultant and studied toward her certification to be a Trustee in Bankruptcy under Israeli Law. While living in Israel, Julie had the opportunity to work on a number of business deals and transactions in London, Israel and Egypt, as well as a several transactions in cooperation between Israel and Jordan. In 2001, Julie returned to the U.S. to a law firm in Rockland County as an associate. In 2004 Julie joined Rohit Sabharwal as a partner of a firm they established, Herman, Sabharwal & Globus, PC, which became Sabharwal, Globus & Lim LLP in 2006 when Stan Lim left his former employment to join as a partner.
Julie has sat on a number of Boards including the JCC in Rockland County, the board of a Canadian subsidiary of a Swiss company and the board of a mental health focused medical technology company. She has represented companies in the cannabis industry and is currently representing a private client in the cryptocurrency/blockchain space, an endeavor that is constantly changing as the regulatory environment (or lack thereof) tries to find firm footing.
In addition, to her love for her family and practicing law, Julie is intent upon saving the world one person at a time and one business at a time. In this effort, Julie, like her partners, commits a significant amount of time to pro-bono work, now an integral part of SGL’s practice. She uses her education, personal knowledge and life experiences to assist her pro-bono clients in avoiding numerous pitfalls, both related to her usual practice, and also focusing on other areas like education law, Wills, Trusts and Estates and not-for-profit law. In the education law context, Julie’s work is both pro bono and she accepts clients on a sliding pay scale, taking on cases that are based upon the most egregious cases of neglect and disenfranchisement of special education laws. Her goal is to improve a system mired by neglect of 2E and bright children with behavioral issues who fall through the proverbial cracks.
Aside from Julie’s career choice, she is an avid skier, distance cyclist and triathlete. She is also warming up to swimming. Julie has raced in 9 Half-Ironman races, 8 of which she completed and one of which ended in a cycling crash. She has competed in the Sea to Summit, an endurance and self-directed distance triathlon that culminates in a 5.5 mile run up Mount Washington’s Tuckerman’s Ravine. Julie has also completed the 100 on 100 in Vermont, a 100 mile running race, which she ran as a member of a six member team (albeit the weakest link). Julie plans to complete the Natchez Trace 444 on 44, a 444 mile bike race, that runs through 3 states in 44 hours. That and two other races scheduled for the 2023 racing calendar have been postponed due to injury.
During Julie’s spare time she gardens, reads, and loves the outdoors. She is an avid blogger and activist for causes close to her heart which include: the improvement of the deplorable nursing home conditions in hundreds of nursing homes throughout the country and the accountability of their owners and operators, a revamping of the guardianship system, which largely ties into nursing homes and a strong and well connecting nursing home lobby, better education for handicapped and neuro-diverse children, integrity in government, financial accountability and water resource planning.
Finally, Julie hopes to obtain a certified fraud examiner certificate.
