“It was wonderful to reconnect with mentors and mentees, meet new people and celebrate Proskauer’s 150th anniversary,” said Steve Malone, head of global employment law at Peloton Interactive. “I particularly enjoyed recounting our trial preparation days before the digital age. I’m grateful to the Firm for nurturing these lasting relationships.”
“To me, Proskauer is always about the people, and the alumni reception provided an excellent excuse to reconnect with so many great people,” acknowledged David Bayer, labor relations counsel at the National Football League (NFL). “Whether I was catching up with a former colleague I hadn’t seen in years or spending time with those that I remain in close contact with, it was a great time and a good reminder of how special it is to be a part of the Proskauer community.”
The event also marked a renewed commitment by the Labor & Employment Department to regularly engage with its alumni.

“The reputation of Proskauer’s Labor & Employment Department is due in large part to the contributions of those attorneys who came before,” acknowledged Adam Lupion, co‑chair of the Labor & Employment Department, who joined the Firm in 2001. “Our alumni are indispensable resources as the workplace continues to evolve, and as we strive to tackle its most complex challenges. We want to be an asset to our alumni by supporting them both professionally and personally.”
“There is a lifelong bond that forms between the attorneys who have worked side-by-side at Proskauer,” added Allan Bloom, co‑chair of the Labor & Employment Department, who joined the Firm in 2014. “Celebrating our 150th anniversary without our alumni would have left a void. The reception also underscored why Labor & Employment alumni gatherings are so critical— they provide an outlet for current and former colleagues to meaningfully connect and reminisce.”
