When you build client relationships based on shared service and values, everyone wins. Thanks for the inspiration Enia Titova and kudos to Eric Ball and Garner Kropp for organizing meaningful events that give back to our local communities. 🙌 #giveback #community
I want to give a shoutout to Eric Ball at Fenwick & West. A few years back, I popped off on the internet about how I don't want a bottle of wine from my outside counsel at the holidays, I want y'all do something actually good for the world. Well, Eric took my advice to heart: he's now organized 3 annual events to address food insecurity in the Bay Area. 👏 👏 👏
