Last night was the beginning of our last week of the summer program at Bilzin Sumberg. We attended our last departmental social event of the summer. This time, it was with the Land Development & Government Relations practice group. We were able to get a behind-the-scenes tour of the American Airlines Arena: Home
Gone Fishin’
The summer associates and several attorneys met at Bilzin Sumberg’s offices to hop on a bus set for Key Largo on a sunny Saturday morning. Lead by the firm’s fishing legend himself, Mitch Widom, we ventured aboard a chartered fishing boat and began our journey on the water.

Bilzin Sumberg Cares
This past Wednesday evening, the summer associates and several other Bilzin Sumberg employees volunteered to serve meals at the Chapman Partnership‘s Miami Homeless Assistance Center.
