This year marks the thirteenth year of the Mock Real Estate Transaction at Bilzin Sumberg. But unlike in years past, the Summer Associates and I were not huddled in a large conference room, talking strategy. Instead, we were grouped in Zoom breakout rooms, fleshing out what was most important to the client and how
This week, my fellow Summer Associates and I started our much-anticipated positions at Bilzin Sumberg. While the coronavirus is keeping us away from the office and out of the Courthouse, Jessica and Betsi have planned an engaging and robust, albeit untraditional, Summer Program. On our opening Zoom call, Jessica and Jay welcomed the six
