First Time’s a Charm

By Veronica Gordon on June 28, 2013
Posted in Mentoring, Social Events, Summer in the Magic City, Tag Alongs

This summer has provided me with many ‘firsts.’  In the last few weeks, I have had the chance to sit in on an arbitration meeting, a deposition, and a style presentation, all for the first time.

My first ‘first’ was a Tag Along with Marty Steinberg and Melissa Pallett-Vasquez to an arbitration status conference. I…

Community Connections

This post will not be quite as savory as the last (I dream about that Nutella cake), but I promise to deliver a topic just as deliciously exciting: regional transportation! I’m looking at you, fellow land use law enthusiasts (yes, they exist).

Last Thursday I accompanied my mentor Eric Singer on a tag-along to…

This summer has proven to be an incredible experience. Not only did I get a chance to meet and befriend an intelligent and interesting group of people, I was able to learn from them and…

The Best Times of Your Life…

Posted in Mentoring, Social Events

…have not yet been lived.  Or, so says my fortune cookie fortune from today’s lunch at P.F.Chang’s.  In a moment of panic, at the prospect of eating alone for the first time all summer, David De La Flor and I reached out to Jeff Snyder who, at the last minute, graciously agreed to have…

Miami has recently become home to a state-of-the-art baseball stadium, Marlins Park, which hosts up to 37,000 people and includes a retractable roof to shield fans from inclement weather. A stadium fit for the Magic City, the stadium features a fish tank behind home plate and a pool bar brought to baseball lovers by…

It’s hard to believe that over two months ago Jessica blogged that the summer associate mentors had been chosen.  With just two weeks left of the summer, I decided to re-read Jessica’s post and reflect on my own mentor-mentee relationship with my mentor, a veteran of Bilzin’s summer associate program.

Looking through Jessica’s…

Bilzin Sumberg’s reception area

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to observe Michael Krietzer, co-chair of Bilzin Sumberg’s litigation department, and John Sumberg, managing partner at Bilzin Sumberg, in a client meeting. 

At Pieducks (incredible pizza joint), I shared with Michael that, as a summer associate, not…

This past Monday, I had the opportunity to accompany a senior associate in the litigation department, on a tag-along to the 17th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida for a hearing on a motion to compel arbitration. Prior to going to the hearing, I helped him research key issues regarding the motion, as well as…
