MBW was privileged to sponsor the @hotchkisslibraryofsharon gala last night. Attended by Joshua Mackey, it was a beautiful evening to support a valuable resource in the Sharon, Connecticut community.
Community
The staff at a law firm is intimately engaged with its community. We’re there in the best of times, the challenging times and everything between.
And so the efforts of a community to improve the lives of its residents are efforts that are meaningful to us, too. Here are a few examples of what we’ve been up to in our communities:
May 4th The Troutbeck Symposium
May 4, 2024MBW partner @c.whalen.mcdowell represented the firm at The Troutbeck Symposium. In its third year, the event is a student-led historical educational forum where middle and high school students from 14 regional public and independence schools gathered to present and discuss research projects uncovering little known histories of communities of color and other marginalized groups. Thanks to Troutbeck for this and so many other forums that bring together and enrich our community! Troutbeck
