HKA

Our HKA team had a fantastic week in Chicago, celebrating and sponsoring the American Bar Association Forum on Construction Law 2026 Annual Conference & 50th Anniversary Gala. We loved reconnecting with clients and colleagues, hosting the Women’s Networking & Style Event, diving into sessions that sparked new ideas and conversations, and supporting Building for Good.

HKA attendees included John Paolin, Caryn Fuller, Tracy Doyle, Iris DiBernardo, Michael Griffin, Maged Abdelsayed, Scott Hollingsworth, Michael Cuevas, Christine Daul, Lisa Allen, and Katherine Schlemmel.

Grateful to be part of such a milestone moment for the construction law community!

HKA was pleased to serve as a Benefactor‑level sponsor of the William O. Douglas 2026 Award Dinner in Beverly Hills. Several of our colleagues—including Alex Menenberg, Blake Leamy, and Jillian Fong (pictured below), as well as Mike Wallace and Whitney Alary—attended the April 29 fundraiser in support of Public Counsel’s mission.

The event honored multiple recipients, including Vice President Kamala D. Harris, this year’s William O. Douglas Award honoree; Rita Moreno, recipient of the Trailblazer in the Arts Award; and Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, recipient of the Law Firm Pro Bono Award.

An inspiring evening recognizing leadership, creativity, and the power of pro bono service!

In celebration of Mother’s Day, HKA Americas’ Community Impact Team partnered with The Napkin Network and its founder, Lindsay Gill, on a donation drive supporting DC Metro area families facing difficult choices, making a meaningful impact in our community.

🍼Together, we collected 1,350 diapers, 28 cans of formula, and additional essential baby items—including onesies, towels, swaddles, and breast milk storage bags—as well as $1,300 in donations, which HKA will match. Colleagues participated by donating in person, ordering online, or giving directly.

“The generosity of our colleagues makes it possible to support families during an incredibly vulnerable time and strengthen the communities we all share,” said Tyler Smith Khoury, Managing Director. “With their support, fewer parents will have to decide between buying food and essential baby supplies.”

Thank you to our colleagues across the firm whose generosity made this effort possible, and to Tyler for connecting us with The Napkin Network and helping coordinate the drive.

A meaningful way to support moms and caregivers this Mother’s Day! 💐
