Special displays featuring alumni photos alongside their Proskauer remembrances were a hit with attendees.
“My time at Proskauer shaped me into the diligent and passionate (yet compassionate) lawyer I have become. The relationships with my mentors and those who I mentored have continued to this day, and I’m proud to have started my career at such a remarkable law firm.”

In an unscripted moment, partner and Los Angeles office head Bart Williams picked up the display from a nearby table featuring Cody Weiss, now director of legal – corporate counsel at Petco, and shared his Proskauer memory with all assembled.
“It was amazing“, Weiss said. “It was really great to reconnect. It was also a big surprise when Bart read my memory to the entire group. I am definitely looking forward to the next one.”
“My enduring memory from my time at Proskauer is feeling challenged every day to do my best, by the complex matters I was working on and the outstanding colleagues I was working with.”
