It was a wonderful evening of reconnection and celebration as we brought together alumni from our Washington, DC, Tysons, and Richmond offices for a memorable night at ART Rooftop.
Set against sweeping views of the city skyline, the event created the perfect atmosphere for reconnecting with former colleagues, making new connections, and celebrating the lasting relationships that continue well beyond the firm.
We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and look forward to gathering together again soon!
