I can't wait to see the family gather again for this next Reunion! Much has changed for us since our 10-year Reunion. Our son was a year old, getting ready to join GLELC, and is now an elementary schooler. At the time, I was a nominee for the local courts and my wife was an associate at McGuireWoods. In the intervening time, my nomination expired, and I was ultimately re-nominated by a new President; Brandi was made a partner at McGuireWoods, and has since joined the partnership at another firm and rejoined McGuireWoods. I was confirmed and have been at my current court for three years. What has remained the same and was evidenced at my pandemic-delayed investiture ceremony, is the love of the family I joined at Georgetown Law. Hoya Saxa, I can't wait to see everyone.

I've been a litigation attorney, primarily in media and entertainment, at Pryor Cashman LLP for my entire career (including summer 2009!), initially in New York and since 2013 in Los Angeles. Looking forward to catching up in October.

Hi friends! I'm so looking forward to hearing how you've spent the past 20 years!

I've been in San Francisco for most of that time--the most notable exception being about 3 years in Dallas during the pandemic to live near my wife's family. That was a special time for us, particularly for our two kids. We're back in San Francisco, where I'm a partner at Covington & Burling focusing insurance recovery litigation. I've been active in community organizations, including serving as board chair of the Asian Law Caucus, and currently serving on the board of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Twenty years on and I have stayed the course practicing commercial litigation in New York and New Jersey, though my firm home has changed a few times (it's a bit like Goldilocks!). I am now settled in as a litigation partner in the New York office of Potomac Law Group, which was founded in DC but currently has attorneys across 25 states. I also keep active in the legal community outside of the office. This past year I stepped up as Chair of the Litigation Committee at the New York City Bar Association. I'm living right across the Hudson River with my husband and our feline family members.

After spending 8 years in private practice, I joined the Colorado Attorney General's Office in 2013, in the Air Quality unit. I am now the First Assistant Attorney General for that unit. My team is responsible for advising several client agencies, primarily the Air Pollution Control Division at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and the State's Office of Environmental Justice, as they work in the areas of air quality, climate change, and environmental justice. I live in Denver, with my partner, two kids, and puppy.

Excited to be back in DC to celebrate my 25th reunion at GULC! During law school, I was the Editor in Chief of the Georgetown Immigration Law Journal, and I have continued to work in this field since graduating. I started by spending a year at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, looking at human rights norms that prevent the removal of foreign nationals. I then spent nearly eight years at Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, a global immigration law firm, in their New York, Brussels and San Francisco offices. I switched gears and joined the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals as a Staff Attorney, working on immigration-related appellate matters for five years. About 10 years ago, I returned to private practice and started a boutique immigration law firm based in Oakland, California. My firm focuses on employment-based immigration, representing employers and skilled workers across industries, as well as family-based immigration, assisting U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents in reunifying with loved ones.

Outside of work, I enjoy running, hanging out with my two kids (ages 7 and 13), and our annual holiday in Maui.

Looking forward to celebrating our 25th reunion in October! Excited to catch up with everyone and hear about the incredible journeys we’ve all taken since graduation. It will be wonderful to reconnect, share memories, and make new ones together.

Since getting my LL.M. in 2000, I worked for over five years as a business and finance associate at Washington, D.C. firm Hogan & Hartson (now Hogan Lovells), then moved in-house to a large D.C.-based nonprofit Conservation International where I served as associate general counsel for a couple of years, and in 2006 I joined the Inter-American Development Bank also in D.C., where I currently supervise the legal work in operations in several South American countries, and also provide institutional legal support to venture capital and innovation hub IDB Lab. I am also cochair and a member of the board of UK-based nonprofit ALIFDO, the Association of Lawyers in Intergovernmental Finance and Development Organisations. Among the things I appreciate the most about D.C. is the vibrant cultural life that this cosmopolitan city offers, and the quality of life that one can lead with beautiful parks and the outdoors. Wolfgang (Bergthaler, LL.M.’00) and I are happy to be raising our daughters here. I can’t wait to see my fellow Class of 2000 LL.Ms. at our 25-year reunion!

Since graduating 25 years ago (holy cow!), I have primarily focused on a life of diplomacy. I did start at a law firm, working for O'Melveny & Myers in Century City directly out of law school practicing corporate entertainment law, but then pivoted my career in 2003 to join the US Department of States. Since then, I've lived and worked in New York (kind of like a foreign country for a Califonian like me), Vienna, Madrid, Kabul, Luxembourg, Rome and am now based in Brussels. I have two teenage kids who live in Rotterdam and come often to Brussels. I have kept in touch with many of my GULC friends and am excited to see everyone at the reunion!
